Creamy Crockpot Turkey Alfredo Soup Tips, FAQ & printable recipe

Tips for success

If you find that the soup is thicker than you prefer, add a small amount of warm chicken broth or milk to reach your desired consistency.

Stir well after adding any liquid to ensure the temperature remains even throughout the dish. This adjustment can be made just before serving to tailor the soup to your specific preferences.

For those who enjoy a bit of texture, consider garnishing the finished soup with freshly grated parmesan cheese or a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

These additions not only enhance the presentation but also provide a subtle contrast in flavor. Always serve the soup in pre-warmed bowls to help maintain its temperature for as long as possible during the meal.

Variations

• Spinach and Artichoke: Add a cup of chopped fresh spinach and a can of drained, chopped artichoke hearts to the slow cooker along with the mushrooms for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
• Spicy Turkey Alfredo: Incorporate a teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper into the seasoning mix to add a gentle heat that cuts through the creaminess of the sauce.

Storage and make-ahead

Fridge

Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezer

Freeze for up to 2 months in a sealed container; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

Reheat

Reheat on the stovetop over low heat, stirring occasionally, or in the microwave until heated through.

Store any leftover soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Ensure the soup has cooled to room temperature, but do not leave it out for more than two hours after cooking. When storing, keep the container sealed tightly to prevent the soup from absorbing other odors in the refrigerator.

This dish is an excellent candidate for making ahead, as the flavors often improve after sitting for a day. Simply prepare the recipe as directed, allow it to cool completely, and then refrigerate.

When ready to serve, reheat the soup gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth if the sauce has thickened too much during storage.

Serving ideas

Serve this creamy turkey alfredo soup in shallow bowls to showcase the hearty ingredients. It pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread or a crisp green salad, which helps to balance the richness of the alfredo sauce. Ensure each serving includes a generous portion of the turkey and vegetables.

For a complete meal, consider serving the soup alongside some roasted vegetables or a light pasta dish. Because the soup is quite filling, smaller portions are often sufficient, especially when accompanied by side dishes.

Always serve while hot to ensure the best texture and flavor experience for your guests or family members.

Creamy Crockpot Turkey Alfredo Soup

Prep 10 minCook 4 hRest 5 minTotal 4 h 15 minServes 4

Ingredients

• 1 lb turkey tenderloin, cut into bite-size cubes
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup frozen peas
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 15 oz alfredo sauce
• 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions

1. Place the cubed turkey tenderloin into the slow cooker ceramic insert. Scatter the sliced mushrooms and the frozen peas over the turkey. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and garlic powder evenly across the ingredients.
2. Whisk the alfredo sauce with the chicken broth in a small bowl until smooth. Pour this mixture over the turkey and vegetable combination. Cover the slow cooker and set to low, cooking for approximately four hours until the turkey reaches 165°F (74°C).
3. Once the turkey reaches the internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), turn off the slow cooker. Allow the soup to rest for at least 3 minutes, or up to five minutes, which helps the creamy sauce thicken slightly and settle before serving in shallow bowls.
