ROAST TURKEY & WILD RICE SOUP

Winter seemed never ending this year!  So what did we do? We made MORE soup!  While we were on a trip to the coast I had the most amazing soup at McMeniman’s Sand Trap at their Gearhart Hotel.  So, I came home and set to recreating it.  The re-creation is so close I feel like I’m back in front of the fire enjoying their soup and a cocktail!
