I made a fantastic creamy smoked turkey and wild rice soup for dinner last night. My DH said it might be the best soup he's ever eaten in his life.

I make a creamy turkey and rice soup also. Never tried it with smoked turkey. Sounds wonderful.

We’re gonna need a bit more detail than that so we can have the best soup we’ve ever eaten too.

My hub smoked a bone-in turkey breast with mesquite a few days ago for dinner. We had mashed potatoes with turkey gravy and a green vegetable that you don't like lol. I sliced most of the meat and froze some but kept a bowl in the frig for this soup.

I simmered the bones in my crockpot Wednesday overnight and took the meat off the bones yesterday. The ingredients were pretty simple: lots of smoked turkey, diced onion, carrots, celery, mushrooms, and 6 cloves of roasted garlic with chicken broth and the leftover turkey gravy, then finished with heavy cream. I made the wild rice on the side and when it was done I added some of the liquid from the soup and butter to it to soak into the grains and I gave it a few minutes on high heat to crisp the bottom (inspired by Barriehie). I used smoked salt in the rice instead of regular salt for an additional layer of smoky flavor. I served the crispy rice on top of the soup instead of putting it in the bottom of the bowl which was a good idea. My arm is a bit sore from patting myself on the back so much afterwards.
