Dilled Potato Soup With Ground Turkey
"Ground turkey can be used just like ground beef. I substitute it in many recipes because it drastically reduces the fat content. Many are scared they will not like it as well as ground beef, but many times it is cheaper to buy and provides just as much flavor in your recipes. This is a hearty soup and a meal in itself. To me, that is the only way to eat soup!"

I love this soup! I had some ground turkey to use up, and didn't want to make the usual burgers/meatloaf/spaghetti sauce. I threw everything in a pot and had fantastic soup in less than 40 minutes! I added some chopped bacon like another reader suggested, which gave it a nice, smokey flavor. I also added celery, but not the mushrooms since I didn't have any on hand -
Super easy and yummy! The entire family liked it and my two timid soup eaters had seconds. My husband said the only thing he thought I should do different next time was add bacon "because everything is better with bacon"! Thanks for this! -
Excellent as is! This is good anytime! Thank you! -
This is a wonderful winter-time soup recipe. It's easy to make and very tasty. I have to add that I did not use boullion cubes but 3 tablespoons of knorr caldo de pollo. I also added zuchini because it was available in excess. Great tasting soup--thanks for the recipe!! -
Mine turned out just ok, but it was my own fault. I left the stove after adding the dill and came back to it boiling...the boil knocked out some of the dill flavor. Good recipe, nice and healthy. I used 7 cups of chicken broth so it went a long way. I also used extra lean ground turkey. A nice warm and healthy soup.

Loved this! I used ground pork instead of turkey, since that's what I had on hand. Am also glad to find a new recipe with dill weed; I rarely get to use mine. This was quick and easy--my kind of cooking. This is a keeper!

Right now I enjoy restoring fatigued furniture, astronomy, and cooking, which brings me here. Oh! I started gardening this year, I love herbs since they are also useful in the kitchen- my favorite being basil.
