This is great! (for those wondering, bagoong is like a shrimp paste found in Filipino/Asian food stores) - For less heat, I added chopped beans together with the chillies. I did not add fresh tumeric, I used powdered, it was just as yummy.

Turkey Revenge Soup (for leftovers)

When I checked out the Turkry Revenge Soup recipe I thought one of my family had sent you MY recipe!! The kids have always loved this soup and say it tastes better than the turkey dinner itself. You can't go wrong and if there are any leftovers, it freezes well. H. Yarema
