Creamy Turkey Soup
A "souper" delicious way to use up leftover turkey! Don't hesitate to mix in leftover gravy or veggies. Left over stuffing? Layer it on top of the turkey. No leftover turkey? Cook boneless turkey breasts in chicken broth and use the liquid instead of milk.
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (8.00 ounces) package sliced fresh mushrooms
2 cups chopped cooked turkey
2 (10.50 ounces) cans condensed cream of chicken soup
1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1-1/2 cups frozen peas and carrot, thawed
1/2 cup milk
Layer onion, mushrooms and turkey in a crockpot. Mix soup, poultry seasoning and black pepper and pour over the turkey. Cover, cook on Low 8 hours or on high 4 hours.
If cooking on Low, turn to High, stir in peas and carrots and milk. Cook an additional 10 minutes or until heated through.
