Ingredients
  

1 lb cooked turkey meat, shredded

4 cups chicken or vegetable broth

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

3 medium carrots, sliced

3 medium parsnips, diced

2 cups sweet potatoes, cubed

1 cup green beans, trimmed and cut into pieces

1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)

1 tsp dried thyme

1 tsp dried sage

1 tsp paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by shredding your cooked turkey and chopping all vegetables as specified in the ingredients list.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until the onion becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes. This step enhances the flavor of your soup.

      Combine in the Crockpot: Transfer the sautéed onions and garlic to your crockpot. Add the shredded turkey, chicken or vegetable broth, carrots, parsnips, sweet potatoes, green beans, and corn.

        Season: Stir in the dried thyme, dried sage, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well to combine the flavors.

          Cook: Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the vegetables are tender and flavors meld together.

            Taste & Adjust: Once done, taste the soup and adjust seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a thicker soup, you can use an immersion blender to purée a portion of the soup to your desired consistency.

              Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy the warmth and flavors of autumn in every bite!
