    1. Place mashed potatoes in a large soup pot over medium heat and add milk, heavy cream, and stock (store-bought is fine). Whisk gently to incorporate but do not overwork.

    2. Add turkey and season with salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste. Bring to a light boil and finish by whisking in butter.

    3. To serve, put gruyere (or your favorite shreddable cheese) in the bottom of a bowl and add soup. Garnish with a dusting of paprika and scallions.

    4. Eat immediately. Pass out. Repeat throughout weekend.
