Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or cubed
- 2 cups carrots, diced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups unsalted chicken or turkey broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Add the shredded or cubed turkey, diced carrots, diced celery, chopped onion, diced potatoes, minced garlic, and chicken or turkey broth to the crock pot.
Sprinkle in the dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything to combine.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3 hours, until the vegetables are tender.
About 15 minutes before serving, prepare the creamy base. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux, ensuring no raw flour taste remains.
Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and thickened. Remove from heat.
Stir the creamy base into the crock pot, combining it well with the soup. Let it cook for an additional 10-15 minutes to meld the flavors.
Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot.
