Turkey and Ham Sopas is a soup dish made from leftover thanksgiving turkey and ham. This dish is rich, flavorful, and simply delicious.
I made this from our leftover turkey and ham. The soup is composed of chicken broth and fresh milk. Traditional Filipino sopas makes use of milk to make it more richer. In the Philippines, sopas is best eaten during cold weather or during rainy days. It is also timely during the Christmas season because it gets colder during these times. As for us here in Chicago, having turkey and ham sopas helps keep us warm (since it is winter time); it also puts the leftover dishes into good use.
I like to have my sopas with roasted garlic on top. I added some roasted garlic on my sopas and also placed some French fried onions that I previously used to make green bean casserole — it was so good.
