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!

  • 1 large yellow bell pepper (chopped)
  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • 1 tbsp. dried parsley
  • 1 tbsp. garlic powder
  • 2 tsp. dried marjoram
  • 1 tbsp. dried thyme

Instructions

      Sam – About a cup. 🙂 The yield I sadly didn’t notate and now can’t remember. But just by looking at the recipe, you can probably count on at least 6 cups if not more.
