Italian Turkey Soup
Need something to warm you up this chilly season? Make this flavorful and delicious Italian Turkey Soup.
I’ve been on a soup kick lately because it’s been so darn cold. I can’t seem to warm up. When ever it’s gloomy/rainy outside, I want to cuddle up with a blanket, a movie and a big bowl of soup. Yum!
When we lived in Palm Springs it never got cold or rainy enough to make soup. It gets chilly, but it’s the type of cold that warms up during the day and by the time it’s dinner time, you just don’t feel like soup anymore. In Vegas I feel like it’s always cold, gloomy and rainy. Now people tell me that it’s normally not like this, but burr its cold.
I’ve seen more rain in the past 4 months then I’ve seen in 10 years. I love the rain, but not sure how people deal with it on a daily basis. I mean everything is wet. How do you go grocery shopping without getting soaked? Last week when I decided that I wanted to make this soup recipe, I needed to run to the store to get a few items.
When I left the house it was cloudy, but no rain in sight. I even looked on my weather app to make sure it wasn’t going to start raining. Well guess what…it’s starting raining. No I’m sorry that’s an understatement. It was pouring when I went outside.
Oh my gosh you guys. I was soaked and so were all my groceries. Let’s just say I was pretty annoyed. But it was well worth it because this soup turned out awesome and good!
This soup is so tasty and is even better the next day. You literally throw everything in the pot, let it simmer for a while, pop some noodles in there and eat away. A lot of recipes will cook the noodles in the soup, but I’ve noticed that it takes away the liquid and makes the soup starchy. So I make the noodles on the side and just add them whenever we’re ready to eat. You can add a little olive oil to the noodles so they don’t dry out.
If you’re cold and looking for a delicious tasty and flavorful soup to warm you up, then you need make this Italian Turkey Soup. It’s good!! Enjoy and stay warm this winter! 🙂

I am ALWAYS on a soup kick! I could eat it every day, especially since it’s freezing by me. This turkey soup looks fantastic, Cyndi! I love the zesty flavors in here. Such a perfect bowl of deliciousness!
This looks like SUCH a warm and comforting bowl of soup. Living in Seattle, I’m definitely familiar with rainy days. I’m always thankful I can get from my parking spot to my apartment without going into the rain for that reason, haha! Wish I had a bowl of this soup to dig into right now 🙂
Our weather has definitely taken a turn for the worse! We had soup tonight, but I’d love it again! Your recipe looks fabulous!
This is gorgeous, but what I really love is how quickly it comes together! I am going to try it soon and add some of our favorite sausage as well.
What a wonderful comfort soup, this sounds delicious!
This soup looks so delicious! I’m totally with you….soup EVERY DAY for warm up purposes. I’m ready for spring! 🙂
This soup is gorgeous, Cyndi! I crave warm, hearty soups like this all year long so I can’t wait to try it!
It seems so weird for it to be so rainy there! At least here our weather is predictably unpredictable. Lol. But January is ALWAYS soup season without fail, so I’m loving this one!
This soup looks so hearty and delicious! I just need a big fat piece of crusty bread to go with it 🙂
What an easy recipe perfect for busy week nights. Thanks!
This looks amazing! We love soup around here, can’t wait to try it!
Instead of rain we’re getting a foot of snow, this soup will be perfect!
This soup looks perfect for the dreary, cold days were having in Missouri. Hoping you get some sunshine soon!

What is Italian turkey meat?
Hi Martha. I’m sorry I should of put ground Italian flavored turkey meat. 🙂 It should be next to your regular turkey meat in the grocery store. If you can’t find it you can always use regular ground turkey and add in some Italian seasonings. Hope this helps. 🙂
I made it tonight and we loved it! My turkey meat did not have much Italian seasoning so I added oregano, basil and garlic powder. The corn did not do much for me in the recipe and would be good without it. It was a declicious hardy soup for a cold night. Even in South Texas we had cold today!!! It makes a lot and I assume will freeze well! Thanks for sharing!!!
