My sisters and I made this soup with our mom when we were young. Now it's the traditional "day-after-Thanksgiving" soup for our own families.
-- Lois Hofmeyer, Sugar Grove, Illinois

You Will Need
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
3 cups diced unpeeled red potatoes
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) chicken broth
2 cups cubed cooked turkey breast
2 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
2 cups heavy whipping cream

What to Do
1. In a large saucepan, sauté onion in butter until tender. Add potatoes and broth.

2. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the turkey, vegetables, salt, pepper and poultry seasoning.

3. Cook 10-12 minutes longer or until vegetables are tender. Stir in cream; heat through (do not boil).

Serves 8 (2 quarts)
