This is a great recipe to use up some of the Thanksgiving meal leftovers such as turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, and peas. It’s a great tasting soup. The bacon gives it a smoky flavor.
Hint: If you don’t have evaporated milk on hand, you can make your own! Mix 2/3 cup of non-fat dry milk with 3/4 cup water to yield 1 cup of homemade evaporated milk.
