Storing and Freezing
This recipe will stay in your refrigerator for five days. To warm leftovers, microwave them while covered, or bring the soup to a low simmer on the stove top. I first made this recipe years ago after finding some Cajun style turkey. While absolutely delicious with that turkey, this recipe is great with any leftover turkey or cooked chicken. It’s easy to keep cooked chicken on hand. In fact, I have a whole tutorial for keeping it in the freezer for recipes just like this. The same can be said for freezing cooked turkey – which would make this a perfect recipe to use your Thanksgiving leftovers. If you would rather, you can use cooked rice in this recipe. Toss in about 1 1/2 cups at the end of cooking and allow it to warm through. To freeze this recipe, add it to a container with some room to spare to account for it expanding in the freezer.
