Turtle Soup is the fifth and final studio album by the American rock band the Turtles. It was released in 1969 on the White Whale Records label. The album was produced by Ray Daviesofthe Kinks – the first time he produced another act's record. A 1993 Repertoire Records CD-issue included 8 bonus tracks. A 1996 Sundazed Records reissue included two bonus tracks.

Turtle Soup peaked at number 117 on the Billboard Pop Albums chart. Two singles from the album also earned a place on the Billboard Pop Singles chart: "You Don't Have to Walk in the Rain" (number 51), and "Love in the City" (number 91).[1]

The Turtles hired Ray Daviesofthe Kinks to produce Turtle Soup, having admired his production of the Kinks' latest album, The Village Green Preservation Society,[4] which was released in the United States in February 1969.[5] Recording for Turtle Soup took place at United Recording Studios in Los Angeles over two weeks, on 12–17 April and 24 June to 2 July 1969.[6] Chuck Britz served as audio engineer for the sessions, and Ray Pohlman, the musical director of the musical variety series Shindig!, provided string and horn arrangements.[6]

Of the six songs recorded in April, "House on the Hill" was considered for release as a single, but the label withdrew its release after making promotional copies. "You Don't Have to Walk in the Rain" backed with "Come Over" was instead issued by White Whale Records in the US in May and by London Records in the UK on June 3.[7]
