How to Make Turkey Vegetable Soup in the Slow Cooker
Just a few simple steps and a comforting soup will be simmering away in the Crockpot!
- Saute onion in butter and place on the bottom of the slow cooker.
- Add remaining ingredients and cook according to the recipe below until potatoes are tender.
- Season with salt and pepper and serve.
Favorite Tips
- The frozen veggies should be defrosted and drained before adding to the soup otherwise it will slow down the cooking time and make the soup watery. Just run them under hot water for a minute or so.
- If only fresh or frozen turkey is available, pan cook the meat in a skillet with a bit of the broth. After cooking add it to the soup.
- Cut the celery and potatoes evenly so they cook at the same rate.
Leftovers?
Fridge: Once the soup is cooled enough, put the soup in an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 5 days. Most leftover soups can easily be refreshed by adding new vegetables and seasonings. Salt and pepper, a little of this and that, and serve!
Freezer: Ladle the soup into zippered bags and write the date on the outside. Lay the bags flat in the freezer and once frozen, stack them up like books to save space. They should last about two months.

Very tasty. I cooked it overnight so it was ready to take to work for my lunch, and it will do for the rest of the week! Will definitely make again.
So glad you loved this soup Christine!
This soup was delicious! I used what I had in the pantry but used Italian style stewed tomatoes and left out the corn. We had enough tor 2 meals. I’ll make this again in a double batch snd freeze the other half. Great recipe!
I’ve been making turkey soup for years, every November after Thanksgiving when I have all that leftover turkey. And, I’ve pretty much made it just like your recipe here except on top of the stove, BUT….I never thought about doing it with rotisserie chicken in the slow cooker ANY TIME of year! Bravo! I have some leftover chicken in the fridge right now, so guess what’s for supper or maybe lunch tomorrow? Turkey Soup!
