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)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

Sprinkle in the dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything to combine.

Step 3

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours, or on high for 3 hours, until the vegetables are tender.

Step 4

About 15 minutes before serving, prepare the creamy base. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 5

Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux, ensuring no raw flour taste remains.

Step 6

Slowly whisk in the heavy cream, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and thickened. Remove from heat.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve hot.
