Notes
* You can easy substitute smoked turkey to leftover ham bone or ham hocks
** I didn't add any additional seasoning because those turkey necks i used had so much flavor. But of course you can add more salt or pepper if you want
*** This soup will get really thick when cold. But don't worry! Just reheat it in the same pot on saute or in the microwave in the bowl for a minute and it will get its puree form back.
