If you are looking for a warming soup in cold and rainy weather or when you crave a hearty bowl of creamy turkey mushroom soup, then this is what you are looking for. It will only take not too much hard work in the kitchen to enjoy this homemade, tasty soup since the turkey is already cooked. The creaminess comes from heavy whipping cream and a little bit of flour. The mushrooms add earthy, savory, and gives extra delicious flavor to this vibrant and appetizing soup.

INGREDIENTS AND SUBSTITUTION

• Left Over Turkey – Left over turkey or chicken if that is what you have. I know we all keep those left over meat if we can and they taste better the next day anyway.
• Mushrooms – It gives earthy and savory flavor.
• Cooking Oil – Use neutral cooking if possible.
• Onion and garlic – Perfect combination for sauteing.
• Flour – We need flour to thicken and make a creamy turkey mushroom soup. You can also use left over mash potatoes as substitute.
• Broth or water – Of course we need liquid for our soup.
• Salt and Black Pepper – To taste. You can add more herbs and spices if you want.
• Heavy Whipping Cream – This is what makes this soup savory, delicious and creamy. Do not skip the cream. You can also use coconut cream if you are dairy-free or other milk as substitute but the flavor may be different.
• Green onions – for garnish
• Oyster Crackers – This are optional. You can substitute this with any crackers or even some bread on the side.

MAKE-AHEAD, STORAGE AND REHEATING TIPS

Make-Ahead – You can make this ahead of time in large batches for meal prep and transfer it in an air-tight container. My favorite is a mason jar with a wide mouth or any glass container with a tight lid. For me, leftover soups have the best flavor the next day.

Refrigerator – Refrigerate leftover your homemade creamy turkey mushroom soup for up to 3-5 days. Make sure to store it in air-tight container.

Freezer – My favorite way of storing leftovers is in the freezer. You can store it in the freezer for about 3-4 months in a freezer-friendly container or mason jar with a wide mouth but fill it up to the top to be safe.

Reheat – Reheat your soup as needed on the stovetop or microwave for 2-5 minutes or until it is warm enough to your liking.
