I love soup I can throw together in a crock pot in the morning and forget about it until 6 o’clock when I’m hungry. However, you won’t forget about this recipe when you smell the aroma all day (if you’re at home). Try this fix it and forget soup using chicken or turkey leftovers. I chose to use our cubed leftover grilled chicken fajita. It’s another no fuss meal at the Brown house.
This recipe is easily adapted to use leftover holiday turkey. Simply substitute cooked shredded or chopped turkey for the chicken. An MSG free taco seasoning packet can enhance the flavor of the turkey or feel free use it with unseasoned chicken.

Instructions
