This Creamy Turkey Soup from at Souplantation or Sweet Tomatoes (same restaurant; different names)is served with a twist. Souplantation serves this with their homemade stuffing. You can always use some of your left over stuffing, or if that's not an option at your house,whip up a batch of Stove Top Stuffing for quick stuffing. If course you don't have to add the stuffing, this soup is good with or without!
