Rustic Turkey & Veggie Soup

Comfort food at its finest!  It was a cold, rainy day and my Rustic Turkey & Veggie Soup was the ticket for dinner tonight!  BOY did it hit the spot!   We really enjoyed this soup – the hearty and robust flavors were satisfying. The first time I made this Rustic Turkey & Veggie Soup, I had it simmering for about 5 hours but this time, I cooked everything in the soup pot, brought it to a boil and then let it simmer about 30 minutes before serving.

It was nice to have a delicious soup that was SO EASY! Everything goes into one pot – no muss, no fuss, right? I hate cleaning pots and pans, so these one pan/pot meals are awesome!   I browned the turkey first with all of the seasonings.  While the meat was browning, I chopped up the veggies and added them in and cooked for about 5 more minutes before adding the liquid ingredients to the soup pot.   Rustic Turkey & Veggie Soup

I brought everything to a boil, stirring frequently and then turned it down to simmer until my husband got home from work – about 30 minutes or so.  OH, and I added some red wine in this time, you know, for fun.   🙂   It smelled amazing and was VERY tasty!

Toward the end of simmering, I added a large handful of spinach to the pot and let it cook down stirring until wilted.

      Thank you Lindsey! I am so happy your family enjoyed it and YAY for the kids eating veggies!! That is always a WIN! 🙂 xoxo

    2. Allie

      This was easy and delicious! I will be doubling the recipe next time and making it in a crock pot!

      1. Angela Dimitrelias

        YUM! What a great idea! 🙂

  2. Sadie

    How many servings in this recipe? Thanks!

    1. Angela Dimitrelias

      It makes a LOT – I put 4 servings on there, but I would go with about a cup and a half per serving – that is what I have done. 🙂

  3. Nick

    roughly how many servings did this make?

    1. Angela Dimitrelias

      On my blog, I said 4. I think my serving size for this was 1 1/2 cups per serving! 🙂 Enjoy!

    I was just wondering if all the ingredients took out that earthy taste ground turkey usually gives? I am not a big fan of the taste

    1. Angela Dimitrelias

      Hi Kim! If you don’t like turkey, you could do ground chicken or ground beef. 🙂 I bet either of those would be delicious.

    Any tips for making this in a crockpot ? I am a pharmacy student & my evenings run soooooo much smoother when I can come home to a meal that is ready or doesn’t take much prep.

    1. Angela Dimitrelias

      Yeah! I would brown the meat first and then throw everything into the slow cooker and set to low. 🙂

  7. Staci Schneider

    This was so good a filling! I made some up and froze it for lunches! I just had some and it hit the spot. Can’t wait to make another recipe! Blueberry Baked Oatmeal cups tonight! 😉

  8. Jennifer Whited

    Made this tonight and it was amazing! So flavorful and hearty! I didn’t miss potatoes or pasta at all! Though I might throw the leftovers over some brown rice tomorrow!

    1. Angela Dimitrelias

      I am so happy you loved it! 🙂

  9. Brittiny

    I just made this and I’m so excited to try it! Have you ever figured out how many calories are in a serving?

    1. Angela Dimitrelias

      I hope you enjoyed it!

  10. Laurie Holm

    I made this the other night and added some cheddar cheese and it was delicious! I can’t wait to try it with the wine!!

  11. Lauren Metz

    This was on menu plan for three days ago, but I’ve been so sick I haven’t really cooked/eaten much. Glad that I am finally up for cooking and so glad that this is the first real meal I get to have. I love this soup!

    1. Angela Dimitrelias

      Love that! So happy you enjoyed them!
