Soup (Yeah, It's Turkey Soup)
That Thanksgiving turkey is still yielding dividends as it serves as
the base for tonight's soup. We've been careful not to over-employ
the turkey in our dishes of late, lest we begin to get "turkey
burn-out". Most of the flavors in this dish come from the veggies and
beans.

Our daughter was a pain about eating - picking at her food, but eventually finishing. Our son ate several serving of beans without prompting asking to scoop more beans from the communal bean dish each time. That's pretty typical of our meals nowadays - one eats the other fusses. Happily, the adults liked the dinner just fine and ate without any fidgeting at all.
