Turkey Bean Soup

You know what I both LOVE and HATE about making soup?

You can work without really having a recipe.

I love it because you can clean out your fridge/cupboards with whatever you have on hand.

I hate it because it's often difficult to duplicate a masterpiece.

I love it because it's never the same, and therefore not boring.

I hate it because it might not be as good as last time.

Good thing my husband LOVES soup, and it's difficult to screw up. :-)

Today's soup was modified from a soup I found a Recipe Shoebox.
