This delicious Turkey & Rice Soup is the perfect way to use up all those holiday leftovers, and it comes together in minutes (and is freezer friendly too!).
There’s no better way to keep out the winter chill–or stretch your food budget–than with a pot of steaming hot, hearty soup! This deliciously simple Turkey & Rice Soup is the perfect way to use up all those Thanksgiving leftovers, and with just a few super simple ingredients, comes together in minutes.
And the best part? It’s freezer friendly, which means you can save it to make later (just in case you’ve had enough turkey for now!) To make it as part of a freezer cooking day, just split the soup into multiple bags, then throw it right into the freezer–no cooking required!
Step 1: Chop onion, celery, parsley and carrots.
Step 2: Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to pot and saute vegetables.
Step 3: Then add shredded turkey to pot and stir. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Add stock and cooked rice; cook on low for 1-2 hours.
Step 5: Ladle into bowls, top with grated Pecorino Romano and serve with your favorite bread.

Can I just freeze the broth & chicken together and use later with rice
How long does the soup last in the freezer?
The soup can last at least a month in the freezer.
This looks so delicious! I am wanting to freeze a bunch for later in the winter - does the rice freeze well? Or does it get mushy when taken back out and re-cooked?
It will get a little mushy. But what will happen is it will make your soup a little thicker. :)
This looks super healthy I love vegtables. The chicken broth looks like it would add tons of flavor. I'm on a diet I bet this would be a tasty meal that would be filling and help with losing weight. Great recipe. It,s definitely on my bucket list.
Love this recipe! So healthy and light, and it uses our turkey leftovers! :)
