If You Love Thanksgiving, Campbell’s New Chunky Turkey Soup Is For You
One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving dinner is the culinary aftermath. I’m all about the leftovers. The turkey and all the sides can be repurposed in so many delicious ways. You can whip up some turkey soup, sandwiches, casseroles, and tetrazzini, just to name a few. Half the fun is coming up with new meals to make with whatever is left after all of your guests have gone home. Campbell’s is one step ahead of us.
According to Chew Boom, Campbell’s Chunky Soup is delivering the goods well ahead of the holidays. “The soup that eats like a meal” is now available as a new limited-edition, Thanksgiving-inspired Turkey Bowl. All the flavors you expect to taste in the classic holiday feast are there with a blend of smoked turkey, roasted and sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberries, and flavorful wild rice. It’s everything but the pumpkin pie all packed into a 15.25 oz. microwaveable cup for $2.99. Thanksgiving dinner was never so cheap and easy.
If you just can’t wait for November 23rd to arrive, feel free to get a head start on Thanksgiving. No one would blame you. You can find Campbell’s Chunky Turkey Soup nationwide for a limited time at your favorite grocery store or online retailer, including Harris Teeter and Amazon.
5 Unique and Unusual Thanksgiving Traditions to Consider
Turkey Bowling
Frozen turkey bowling is as straightforward as it sounds: Instead of using conventional bowling balls and pins, participants roll frozen turkeys toward rows of soda bottles. According to a report by People magazine in 1988, it was Derrick Johnson, a grocery clerk at a Lucky’s grocery store in Newport Beach, who is credited with the inception of turkey bowling. Johnson recalled witnessing a store manager accidentally knocking down a soda bottle while sliding a turkey across the floor, sparking the idea. Additionally, he took on the role of commissioner for the Poultry Bowlers Association and initiated the sport’s organization.
Turkey Toss
Some people gather to challenge the limits of distance and altitude by launching frozen turkeys. In fact, a group of college students in Indiana took this to the next level in the early 2000s. They came up with the plan of dressing a frozen turkey in a onesie, securing it to a chain, saturating it with lighter fluid, igniting it, and then flinging it across a football field.

Second Wind Walks
Thanksgiving feasts are often so filling that many families take a post-dinner stroll to make room for dessert. It’s like taking the “I work out so I can eat” mantra to a whole new level. Of course, packing up leftovers for later is an option. But the post-feast walk is a fun tradition for those who can’t resist the temptation of that pumpkin pie.

The idea was that since they roast a turkey, why not extend the roasting to the family members too. Seriously, what could possibly go wrong?
