Turkey Chowder

Well kids. I’m all “souped out!”

It’s been great experimenting with new soups and coming up with various side dishes that nicely complement the soup. This is the last soup of “Soup Week.”

Be sure to check out some of the recipes from this week’s $5 Dinner Challenge. There are some good ones!!! Hubs and I are going on a date Saturday night and I’ll be on a “computer fast” for a bit. I’ll be back Sunday night

The turkey I made last Saturday in the crockpot has been stretched to the max. 3 meals, several lunches. Tonight’s soup is the turkey’s final harrah!

Recipe adapted from Gluten Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy

2 cups cooked and diced turley ($1.29)

2 tsp cornstarch
Salt and Pepper
Sour cream to garnish ($.25) (not if GFCFSF!!)
