Even though spring is upon us, it’s still soup season in this household, especially if I can make it in my slow cooker! This Slow Cooker Turkey Barley Soup is perfect for weekend or week day meals. Add crusty bread and a salad and your job is done!
If you have left overs, freeze them!
Slow Cooker Turkey Barley Soup
I love making soups in my slow cooker. I have several in the Slow Cooker Sunday category and make them often. All tried and true. Â
I freeze any left overs of all soups I make, which makes it so nice to have in a pinch. They don’t take long to reheat.

- Slow Cooker Taco Chili
- Slow Cooker Tomato Ravioli Soup

This would be a great recipe to tuck away after Thanksgiving. Seems like we’re always looking for ways to use up any extra turkey and this would be easy!
I love that this is family friendly. My son is not a big soup eater, so if I have a soup that has chunks of goodness, he’s all over it.
I’ve been known to also scoop the chunkiness into a small tortilla with many soups and eat it that way. I make burritos out of anything.
- 2 boneless skinless turkey breasts (1 pound), cut in half
- 4 celery spears, chopped

- 1 small potato, peeled and shredded
- 3 sprigs fresh thyme
- 6 cups chicken stock
- ½ cup barley
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground pepper
- fresh rosemary, chopped
