In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion, minced garlic, diced carrots, and chopped celery until they are soft and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the sautéed vegetables to the crock pot along with the diced potatoes, frozen corn, shredded or diced turkey, chicken broth, dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper.
Stir everything to combine, then cover the crock pot with a lid. Cook on low for 6 hours or on high for 3 hours, until the potatoes are tender.
In a mixing bowl, whisk the softened cream cheese and heavy cream together until smooth.
Once the soup has finished cooking, add the cream cheese and heavy cream mixture to the crock pot. Stir thoroughly to incorporate it into the soup.
Cook for an additional 30 minutes on low to allow the soup to thicken slightly and the flavors to meld completely.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to preference.
Serve the creamy corn and turkey soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley or a sprinkle of black pepper, if desired. Pair it with warm bread for a complete meal.
