This easy and satisfying Slow Cooker Turkey Soup lets you use up your leftover turkey in an easy soup that you can make in the crockpot.
Slow Cooker Turkey Soup is the perfect way to use your leftover turkey, but doesn’t taste like you’re eating leftovers. This soup is hearty, satisfying, flavorful, filling, and healthy. We just love it! If you have leftovers after chicken night, or a lot of leftover turkey, this is a great soup to make in advance and freeze for a rainy (or sick) day. Seriously, turkey soup for the soul that doesn’t require you to be on your feet all day—you deserve a break!
Potato Options for Slow Cooker Turkey Soup:
We recommend Yukon Gold potatoes. They hold up in a soup better than russets, and don’t create a grainy, starchy texture in your soup.
Sodium Control:
If you want to better control the total amount of sodium in your soup, we highly recommend using low-sodium chicken broth.
What is poultry seasoning?
Poultry seasoning is a great pantry staple, as it contains the main herbs and spices found in most poultry and soup recipes. It reduces the amount of ingredients you would otherwise be purchasing and measuring out.
Can I make this with chicken?
Yes. This soup is perfect for chicken too, whether that is leftover from a whole chicken, or you just want to make a simple, yummy chicken soup from scratch.
Can this soup be frozen?
Yes. This soup is great to have on hand for day when you need soup but you don’t feel like making it. Be sure to place your soup in an airtight container and to mark it with the date it was made. It can freeze for up to 3 months.
Storage and Reheating Instructions:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a saucepan on the stovetop over medium-low heat until warmed through.

Fantastic recipe for Thanksgiving leftovers. We made our own stock with the turkey scraps and bones and used that with this recipe. The results were amazing. Definitely going to be an annual post-Thanksgiving tradition.
Second time I’ve made this with leftover turkey and it’s a family favorite now!
This is the best soup I’ve ever had. Sometimes we add egg noodles but it’s perfect just the way it is!
Enjoyed this turkey soup on a cold winter day. Changes were mash potatoes, used turkey gravy w/ water and less broth. The soup was creamy, flavorful and tasty.
That sounds awesome. I am going to try it.
This soup is delicious and will be making this every Thanksgiving with leftovers. never made turkey soup before, but this is amazing!
I used sweet potatoes and some yams instead of the Yukon potatoes. I pureed two cups and it just came out perfect with a little bit of sweetness definitely recommend it!
Never made turkey soup before. This recipe was easy and it tasted delicious. The flavor was wonderful. We will be making this every Thanksgiving with leftover turkey. Keep up the great recipes!
This soup is so,so good. I did not puree any of it. Just added the heavy cream and cooked on high for about 3 hours or so. Just until the potatoes and carrots were tender. I will most definitely cook it again.
Made it yesterday according to receipe. Very tasty but, liquid a little thin I thought . Adding more heavy cream or shredded cheese make it more creamy?
