Chicken and turkey soups are a big part of end of year food culture in North America. After eating the meat off a roast turkey, the bones are boiled for 2 days to make turkey stock. Add to this celery, carrots and your other favorite vegetables to make a healthy hearty soup. This month let’s enjoy a little Christmas flavor while eating some wholesome cold-fighting food!
