I just ran across this thread by coincidence. DW makes a similar, mushroom barley soup. I will be making a Chili soup in a few days, so here is advance warning. :thumbsup
Just an idea on how to use up all that leftover turkey. I also use some surprising bean combos.

Good idea, I might do that with our leftover turkey although I only cooked half the bird as it's just for myself and my father

I often do small batches with left over rotisserie chicken carcasses. This way, I scrape all the small tidbits of meat off the bones, and the cooked broth,, I use to cook the beans in. This way all the fantastic flavors are in my finished soup. The bare bones are discarded with nothing left on them.

I just did that with my turkey carcass to make a flavorful broth. I even included the skin since I brined the turkey. I'm hoping for something amazing. 😄
