  • Healthiest version: If you want to make this a easy healthy turkey vegetable soup, you don’t need to add cream or milk. This soup is just as delicious without the cream so there’s always a different option to making this soup healthy.
  • You can also use other milk substitutes like soy milk or almond milk, etc.. The flavors will take-on the milk base and will be different but just as yummy.
