I was inspired to make it after creating my Tuscan Potato Soup while in Italy.
Leftover Turkey Vegetable Soup
Now, you can add as many vegetables as you want to this turkey soup. But, I love just the focus of potatoes. And, with quite a few leftover Yukon potatoes and a few sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving, I knew I wanted to concentrate this soup on potatoes.
However, if you're hankerin' for more of a vegetable soup, then try this Homemade Turkey Soup! It's scrumptious!
Soups with Leftover Turkey
Soups with leftover turkey are super easy to make.
Rather than do a tomato base with chopped tomatoes or V8 Juice, I decided this soup would have a hint of 'sweet' and be more creamy.
Turkey Soup in the Crockpot
While I made my soup in a Dutch oven on the stove top, you can certainly use a crockpot or slow cooker.
You'll simple adjust your time. The big thing is to let the potatoes get tender. And, when you dice them small like I did for this recipe, they cook pretty fast.
Turkey Soup Recipe with Potatoes
I made a slurry to thicken this soup. But, if you have about a cup of leftover mashed potatoes, you can surely add those to this soup and thicken the broth/stock.
Cream of Turkey Soup with Potatoes
To make the soup a tad bit more creamy, I add one can of UNsweetened coconut milk. It's just a divine flavor. And, it adds more healthy nutrition.
Turkey and Potato Soup
The great thing about this recipe is that you could swap out turkey and use chicken. If you have a deli rotisserie chicken with leftover meat, perfect. If you want to add ground meat, that works, too. I'd just brown the meat separately in a skillet then add to the soup.
This soup freezes well for 6 to 8 weeks. And, it keeps in the refrigerator a few days.
And, if you want to take a peek at some of these soup recipes, they'd work beautifully with your leftover turkey meat. Just make the soup, and throw in the turkey!
