I don’t know where you all live, but where we are, it is freezing. With the cold New England weather also comes the flu, colds & an assortment of other fun viruses to bounce back and forth around our home.
My husband & daughter have been sick all week. The menu this week has been soup & vitamin C. Tonight’s special for my two sniffling loves is shepherd’s pie soup.
Shepherd’s Pie Soup
Ingredients:
4 cups of peeled & cubed potatoes
1 lb of browned ground turkey
2 7oz can of corn
1/2 cup chopped onion
5 tbsp of butter or margarine
5 tbsp flour
2 cups milk
2 cups of shredded cheddar
3 1/2 cups of chicken broth
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
1 tbsp parsley
Directions:
Combine potatoes, onion & broth in large pot. Bring to a boil. Lower heat to a simmer & cover. Cook until potatoes are tender about 15-20 minutes. Add salt & pepper.
Brown ground turkey with the garlic salt, drain & set aside.
In a medium saucepan melt the butter medium low. When fully melted add the flour and stir until the flour is absorbed. Add milk slowly & stir until smooth. Add parley & 1 cup of cheese & stir until melted.
Add the cheese mixture to the potatoes & stir well. Add the corn & the ground turkey & stir well again. Add the last cup of cheese & stir until melted.
Serve to your sick family while it’s still warm.

Hope both your daughter and your husband are feeling better. My husband loves shepherd’s pie and so pinned to try for him soon. Thanks for sharing 🙂
My daughter still is sick but my husband is doing better. I made the soup special for Mai & she refused to eat it. Ugh! She is such a bad eater. My husband & I on the other hand, enjoyed it thoroughly.
never heard of Shepherds pie in a soup–HAVE to try that out for sure–since my family loves it so much 🙂 thanks for sharing
I thought it sounded like a good idea. I love potato soup & the turkey burger & corn added a little extra to it. I hope you like it.
I like how you added those cute fishes for your kid – kid friendly is what it’s all about!! Great photo too.
I thought the fishes might inspire my daughter to eat. She is such a horrible eater though. It did not help. She picked out the fishies & left the soup. Lol!
Well I am in! You just combined two of my favorite things.
Lol! Thanks for stopping in.
Huh, I realized I have never had shephers pie, neither have I heard of the soup. I think it’s something i would like to try as it combines many of my favorite things.
Shepherd’s pie is one of my favorite meals. I hope you try it.
Love your recipe, saving it to try!
