    Changed up the veggies to match what I had on hand. I'm pretty sure the sodium level is related to the turkey stock they used. There may have been salt added to the turkey before I bought it, but I did not salt it and my stock was from the turkey that we cooked for Thanksgiving. Quite tasty. - 11/28/11

    I ran this through a recipe analyzer and came up with 282 calories per serving BUT only 688mg sodium. I bet with a few tweaks I can get the sodium down a bit more. The other counts were more or less the same. I am giving this a try tonight but I think it sounds good.

    (Later: This soup was a HIT! - 1/6/11

    Sodium cout HAS to be wrong...I made my own turkey stock (from T-Day bird)...and added all the leftover stuff from the fridge...YUM! - 11/26/10

    No corn, no Broccoli , no zucchini and no rice. Added a can of well rinsed black beans. Garlic and extra onions.
    Added Baby spinach leaves last 10 minutes of cooking. Kept it as low carb as I could. Omitted parsley and salt
    It came out really well did use Bay leaf and ground Thyme. - 6/5/10

    I made this soup with a few small changes. I used only a couple sprays of olive oil. I used fat free, low sodium chicken broth. I used spinach instead of broccoli (add near end) and I added a couple more veggies that I happened to have. It came out great! Will definitely make again! - 11/12/09

    I don't understand why the sodium count is so high. Otherwise it looks like a good, healthy recipe...unless that sodium is correct, in which case, I'll pass. - 4/9/09

    WOW!!! Such a quick and tasty recipe! I served soup with a scoop of wild rice in the center instead of white rice and it became an elegant, quick and tasty meal. - 10/22/08

    I made this recipe but I omitted the zucchini and broccoli and added cabbage and 2 TBSP tomato paste. A very good way to use leftover turkey. - 11/24/07
