Soup of the Week: Turkey Rice Spinach Soup

Category Soups and Stews | Difficulty: Easy

Turkey rice soup with carrots, mushrooms, and spinach

So I'm switching my "No Words Wednesday" this week with "Three Words Thursday"! So here they are...Comforted, Soothing, Lazy! This soup makes me feel comforted, soothing, and lazy to just do what I want for a day! Unfortunately, I'll have to wait to be lazy this weekend! LOL!

Ingredients:
3 c. water
1 can chicken broth
1 carrot, chopped
1 pkg. chopped mushrooms
1 can cream of chicken soup
2/3 c. uncooked rice, rinsed
1 tsp. thyme
3 c. cooked turkey, chopped
2 c. shredded fresh spinach
kosher salt
1 tsp. lemon pepper

Preparation:
Combine water, broth, mushrooms, cream of chicken soup, carrots, rice and seasonings (except salt) in crockpot. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. Salt to taste. Before serving, stir in turkey and spinach just long enough for the turkey to absorb all the broth and the spinach to wilt a bit. Serve with garlic bread or crostini to dip or act as a spoon! YEAH!!!

Submitting also for Deb's Souper Sunday! I really love her Souper Sundays because it keeps me making soups which I love making because soups are so versatile and oftentimes gets cooked in one pot making clean up a breeze!
