Slow Cooker Herbal Turkey Vegetable Soup Recipe
This 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 fits 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!
