Turkey Soup with Brown Rice –

Turkey soup is one of the most simple and quick dishes to make. It’s also very healthy and low in calories. You can be enjoying a hearty bowl of this in no time at all.

Today I want to share with you a delicious and hearty nourishing soup recipe that I made this week. I made it with turkey, but you can use either chicken or beef for this soup. This soup is also very healthy and filling and I like to serve it with brown rice. Serve it with some bread and you will be good to go!

I’ve been doing a lot of searching and experimenting and I think I’ve come up with a recipe that I think you’re all going to love. I’m talking about my new favorite dish, Turkey Soup with Brown Rice. I love making Turkey Soup with Brown Rice because I pair it with my favorite grain – brown rice. This combination is so amazing and so healthy.

I don’t remember who wrote the version I heard as a kid, but according to research, Robert Moser was the original author. In 1808 the book was first published.

I used to think it was amazing how everyone’s little contribution to the pot combined to create a lovely soup that fed so many people when I was a kid.

On a cold, wet Saturday when our kids were small, we had a “Stone Soup” activity.

After I read the tale to them, we went to prepare soup.

We even discovered a stone to use as the first component in the water pot.

I’m not sure whether they had the same response to the tale as I did as a kid, but I had a great time telling it with them.

Here’s a recipe for a quick soup made using items you probably already have on hand.

Simply start with some broth and beef, then add whatever ingredients make you happy.

Here’s a recipe to get you started if you need instructions and measurements.
