Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cooked turkey (shredded or diced)
- 2 cups Carrots (sliced)
- 1 cup Celery (sliced)
- 1 medium Onion (chopped)
- 3 medium Potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 4 cups Chicken or turkey broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Frozen peas
Instructions
Prepare all ingredients by chopping vegetables, shredding or dicing the cooked turkey, and mincing the garlic.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and garlic, whisking continuously for 2 minutes to create a roux. Slowly add 1 cup of chicken or turkey broth to the roux, whisking to remove any lumps. Set aside.
In the crock pot, combine the shredded turkey, carrots, celery, onion, diced potatoes, the remaining 3 cups of broth, and the roux mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Season the mixture with dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Set the crock pot on low and cook for 6 hours, or until the vegetables are tender.
30 minutes before serving, add the heavy cream and frozen peas to the crock pot. Stir well and let the soup cook for the remaining time to blend the flavors.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Serve the creamy turkey soup warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread or crackers!
