I did this with our Thanksgiving leftovers, and I probably will do it again after Christmas. It's a good way to use up those turkey bones with little bits of meat still clinging to them and all those dabs of leftovers.
Boil turkey carcass to make broth. Strain broth (very important, you don't want any tiny pieces of bone in your soup) and take any remaining meat off the bones. Set meat aside.
Chop up whatever veggies you have on hand--carrot sticks and celery left from a relish plate, a potato, an onion, whatever. Cook veggies in the broth. Season with a of salt and pepper and herbs. I used thyme because it compliments poultry nicely. Add a can of green beans and the leftover chopped turkey. Then stir in leftover cornbread dressing and cook for a few minutes. This gives it a nice body and flavor. You could also add mashed potatoes at this point.
Serve with fresh bread. Or if you really want to get into the Christmas dinner theme, cranberry muffins.

We have done this in the past and flavored it with sage and ... whatever seasonings go into what we out here in the Great Northwest call "stuffing". It's excellent!
We did this with our turkey -- not as many vegetables becuase w didn't have them. We'd just made Turkey, not all the fixings And we added noodles. We FINALLY ate the last of it tonight
