Craftscout's Leftover Turkey Soup

---

The best part of thanksgiving: leftovers! :) 2007 update: this is still the best soup i have ever made and the secret really is the sweet potato. this year i saved about a cup of green beans from making the green bean casserole, and added them in to the soup about 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time. delicious!!
