Hearty and delicious. A great way to use Thanksgiving leftovers!
Ingredients
  • 1 C leftover turkey (or chicken)
  • 1 1/2 C cannellini beans
  • 1 sweet potato (yam), cut in 1/2″ cubes
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, diced
  • 1 T flour
  • 2-3 T olive oil, divided
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1/2 t ginger
  • 1/2 to 1 t red pepper flakes
  • 1 t chili powder
  • 1/2 t cumin
  • 1 t smoked paprika
  • 1 t sweet paprika
  • 1 T honey
  • 1/4 C red wine
  • 2-4 C water (or stock, it would make the soup even more flavorful)
  • 2 T balsamic vinegar, divided
Instructions
  1. Heat soup pot. Add 2 T olive oil. Add onion when oil is hot (it will look like it’s rippling), cook 3 minutes. Add sweet potato, cook 5 minutes. Add honey, cook 2 minutes.
  2. Add garlic, turkey, cook 2 minutes.
  3. Move all ingredients over to one side of the pan, leaving a small space on the other side and add remaining 1 T oil, add flour. Whisk, about 30 seconds. Add wine slowly, whisking (it should start to thicken). Slowly add water (start with 2 C, add more if you need to), whisking. Add seasonings and beans.
  4. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer. Cook 30-60 minutes (it takes some time for the flavors to meld together, especially if you’re using water not stock). Add more liquid if necessary. In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add remaining balsamic vinegar.
Notes

Husband enjoyed it so much that he had 3 helpings!
