Thanksgiving Soup


I don't know if any of my kids will actually want this recipe or not, but I love this ultra-healthy veggie packed soup with leftover Thanksgiving turkey.  I got the recipe from one of my homeschooling friends, Kerri Rockcastle.  We had a tradition of trading a jar of different soups back and forth between playgroups.  This was one of my favorites she gave me and a very different flavor than usual!  This also freezes really well, so I will freeze individual servings for a healthy lunch a few weeks later.

Thanksgiving Soup
2 medium yellow onions
2 large beets with the greens
1 large parsnip
2 large yams
1 large white flesh sweet potato
2 large carrots
1/2 bunch kale, stems removed
bay leaf
rosemary
curry powder
ginger
sage
garlic
salt
turkey meat

All of the veggies are peeled and chopped.
All of the spices are to taste.
Simmer everything in a stockpot for several hours.  (I like to add half of the yams in the last hour of cooking, so they hold their shape)
