Clean Eating Slow Cooker Herbal Turkey Vegetable Soup Recipe

This clean eating slow cooker herbal turkey vegetable soup recipe is fabulous for autumn or any chilly evening dinner.

Autumn is about to arrive and I cannot pretend that I am unhappy about it. Here in the blistering (and just a tiny bit humid), triple-digit heat of northern California, the promise of cooler days and falling leaves is always a comforting thought. And while we aren’t there yet, I know many folks are starting to think about it just like I am. Especially with the evenings around here getting just a tiny bit more breezy.

We recently had one surprise bout of cold weather in the middle of summer, and I took full advantage of that. It was chilly, I was enjoying it, and I wanted soup! A nice, clean eating, veggie-filled, comforting soup. And this Clean Eating Slow Cooker Herbal Turkey Vegetable Soup totally fit the bill. I can’t wait to make it again during a time when I can count on the days being as chilly as the nights!
