Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • Prep your ingredients before you start cooking. Have all your veggies diced and ready to go.
  • Adjust the chipotle pepper to your liking. Add a little at a time, as it can be quite spicy.
  • No turkey? You can use rotisserie chicken or leftover grilled chicken if you prefer.
  • Even better the next day! The flavors develop more as the soup sits, making it perfect for meal prep.
