Slow Cooker Tandoori Turkey Soup - Let your crock pot do all the work for this simple soup with big Indian flavors! | foxeslovelemons.com

I miiiiiight have eaten crockpot soups for like 95% of my meals last week. I eat soup for lunch all year ’round, but as soon as there’s any slight autumn chill in the air, soup becomes my dinner, too. I sometimes even have tiny little cups of soup for a mid-afternoon snack. The options truly are endless.

Just about any flavors you can dream up, can be used to create a soup. Personally, I like to load my soups up with garnishes, which really go a long way toward making soup feel like dinner as opposed to “just soup.”

This Slow Cooker Tandoori Turkey Soup is a new favorite around here. It has huge flavors, but is such a cinch to make  – let your slow cooker do all the work.

For this crock pot turkey soup, start with a package of JENNIE-O® Extra Lean Boneless Turkey Breast Tenderloins in the slow cooker, along with some vegetables and Indian-inspired spices.

Add a bit of turkey stock, coconut milk and canned tomatoes, then just put a lid on it and forget it.

When it’s dinner time, shred the tender turkey with a fork, and you’re ready to go. Serve each bowl garnished with yogurt, cilantro, a lime wedge, naan bread and (optional but encouraged) yellow rice.

Go ahead and prep the rice in advance so you can get dinner on the table in a hurry. Enjoy!
