Ingredients
  

1 pound cooked turkey, shredded (leftover or rotisserie)

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

2 cups butternut squash, peeled and cubed

1 cup carrots, sliced

1 cup celery, diced

1 cup potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or red)

1 medium onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried rosemary

1 teaspoon ground sage

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup fresh spinach or kale, roughly chopped

1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes (with juices)

1/2 cup corn (frozen or canned)

1 tablespoon olive oil (for sautéing)

Instructions
 

Sauté the Aromatics: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent (about 3-4 minutes). This will bring out the flavors in your soup.

    Combine Ingredients in the Crockpot: Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic into the crockpot. Add the shredded turkey, chicken broth, butternut squash, carrots, celery, potatoes, diced tomatoes, corn, thyme, rosemary, sage, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.

      Cook the Soup: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours. The longer the soup cooks, the more the flavors will meld.

        Finish with Greens: About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the chopped spinach or kale to add a burst of color and nutrition. Let it cook until the greens are wilted and tender.

          Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup before serving and adjust any seasonings as necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs according to personal preference.

            Serve & Enjoy: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy the comforting flavors of fall. This soup pairs beautifully with crusty bread or a fresh salad!
