Crock Pot Turkey Vegetable Soup with Barley

WW Recipe of the Day: Easy Crock Pot Turkey Vegetable Barley Soup

We cooked a 17 pound turkey on Thanksgiving for FIVE people, which means we've been eating a lot of turkey ever since. It's a good thing we like turkey. I'm finally in the homestretch of using it up. The carcass is being used to make a crock pot full of turkey stock/broth.

WW Friendly Slow Cooker Turkey Vegetable Barley Soup

Tonight we will have sliced turkey with gravy and the slow cooker green bean casserole I decided not to make on Thanksgiving that's cooking away on the counter now. And I've got a yummy sounding casserole planned for tomorrow.

Yesterday, I made this super simple turkey vegetable soup. After a long weekend of indulging, it's just what we all wanted.

Recipe Notes

This recipe is one of those easy dump and stir recipes that takes just a few minutes to toss together. Perfect after a long weekend of cooking when you're ready to take it extra easy in the kitchen.

It's a perfect way to use up leftover rotisserie chicken.

I avoid having to chop vegetables by opting for canned tomatoes and frozen mixed vegetables. Use whatever combination of vegetables you prefer.

I used barley in this soup. I love its rich, nutty flavor and a dense, chewy texture. But you could always leave it out or include some other whole grain such as brown rice, wild rice or farro. Enjoy!
