How to Make Snowy Weekend Turkey And Bean Soup

If using dried black beans, rinse 1 cup thoroughly. If using canned, drain and rinse 2 (15-ounce) cans.
In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the following: 4 cups turkey broth, 1 cup chopped leftover turkey (about 8 ounces), 1 cup chopped onion, 2 carrots (chopped), 2 celery stalks (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1 bay leaf, and your chosen beans (see note below).
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the beans are tender. Stir occasionally.
Remove the bay leaf before serving.
Optional: Add a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of sour cream before serving for extra richness.
Note: For the beans, use any combination of 1 cup dried beans (northern, black, white, pinto) or 3 (15-ounce) cans of one kind. If using dried beans, soak them overnight for best results.
