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.

Made this soup today. PUT noodles in at the end and omitted potatoes. Best soup ever. YOU have great recipes.
Delicious. Instead of the chicken broth I used turkey broth. I also added a little dried thyme. Yummy!
Delicious soup! The only thing I added was a couple of whole bay leaves.
Rachel, your Turkey Soup recipe was simple and delicious. This is now my “go to” recipe for post-Thanksgiving leftover turkey. I added a bay leaf for another layer of flavor but that was it!
Great recipe, easy to make and delicious.
