Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Be careful if using turkey parts or a honey baked ham bone as they tend to be sweet and drastically change the taste of the soup.

The soup will separate when chilled or frozen but will come together just fine once heated.

Delicious with Corn Muffins or Irish Soda Bread
