Make this hearty, satisfying Turkey, Mushroom, and Potato Soup to finish up your Thanksgiving leftovers. Top bowls with a generous amount of cheese and serve with crusty bread.

Sometimes the best recipes happen completely by accident. That's how this delicious soup happened.

Turkey Mushroom and Potato Soup in a vintage serving bowl with a spoon.

It was late afternoon a few days after Thanksgiving when I realized that I had absolutely nothing planned for supper. The grandkids were getting hungry and it was either get in the kitchen and cook or go out.

Honestly, I was so tired I would have just skipped dinner rather than put forth the effort of making myself presentable for going out. So into the kitchen I went.

I started pulling out Thanksgiving leftovers that I thought might go together in a soup. And, my goodness, what a delicious soup it turned out to be!

All that leftover celery, onions, potatoes, and mushrooms combined with the turkey and stock made a flavorful and nutritious soup that we all thoroughly enjoyed. Even the kids. Though I did have to fish all the mushrooms out of their bowls. Still.

How to Make Turkey Mushroom and Potato Soup

This is one of the easiest soups you'll ever make. For real.

Start by sauteing some celery, onions, and mushrooms with butter in a soup pot. Then just add the stock, cream of chicken soup, potatoes, turkey, and seasonings.

Let that all simmer together just until the potatoes are cooked through. Top individual servings with grated cheese.

Serve with some crusty bread or crackers. Delicious every time!

    You are so right.... soup is almost always an ad lib dish for us and probably why we love making it. I love the look of your soup and have been craving something similar. Perfect! Especially with those big slices of mushrooms! Wow!

    Lana, I just wanted to let you know I used your Turkey & Southern Cornbread Dressing recipe for the 3rd year in a row, and once again they were both HUGE hits with the family! Thank you SO much for a recipe that makes cornbread dressing that tastes like my mom's.

    Guess what I'm gonna try next? (Uh huh -this soup recipe that sounds sooo good.) Thank you!

    I just finished preparing a turkey pot pie with the leftovers. I have always liked reruns.
