I know, I know.

I know what you’re thinking. Does the world really need another crockpot soup? Does my blog really need another soup?

I tend to be obsessed with soup.

I actually come by this obsession very naturally. Case in point: this particular recipe comes from a little recipe booklet, “Simply Soups”, my mom put together for the Renville County Home Economists group she belongs to. The booklet contains 9 soup recipes, many of which can use turkey – yay Mom!

In any case, this recipe has quite a bit going for it. It’s a crockpot recipe. It’s full of flavors but nothing is too strange that you wouldn’t already have it in your pantry. Plus it’s perfect for using leftover turkey breast; however, you can just as easily purchase turkey breast tenderloins (like these from JENNIE-O®!) as a perfect substitute. (Just bake the tenderloins ahead of time and cube them up.)

It’s a great anytime meal when you need the crockpot to come to your rescue. And it’s even better because it contains turkey! 🙂
