Description

Imagine a bowl of warmth on a chilly day – this soup delivers precisely that comfort. It's a harmonious blend of sweet and savory, where the natural sweetness of butternut squash meets the hearty flavor of tender turkey. Each spoonful is a delightful experience, offering a rich, satisfying taste that lingers.

The inclusion of colorful bell peppers adds a subtle vibrancy, both in flavor and visual appeal. They complement the earthy squash and savory turkey, creating a well-rounded profile that’s incredibly inviting. The beauty of this recipe lies in its adaptability.

You can easily tailor it to your preferred cooking method. Whether you opt for the slow cooker, allowing the ingredients to gently meld into a symphony of flavors over several hours, or choose the stovetop for a more hands-on approach, the end result is consistently delicious. For those who prefer a quicker meal, an electric pressure cooker offers a convenient alternative, infusing the ingredients with flavor in a fraction of the time.

Consider using turkey thighs for a richer, more succulent experience, or substitute with chicken for a lighter variation. The versatility extends beyond the protein; feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to personalize the flavor to your liking. A pinch of smoked paprika can add depth, while a dash of red pepper flakes introduces a gentle warmth.

This soup is also perfect for meal prepping. Its flavors deepen over time, making it an even more satisfying option for subsequent meals. Prepare a large batch on the weekend and enjoy effortless, delicious lunches or dinners throughout the week.

It’s a practical and wholesome choice that caters to both convenience and flavor. Whether served as a starter or a main course, this butternut squash and turkey soup is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser, embodying the essence of home-cooked goodness.

Instructions

    1.
    Finely dice the butternut squash, onion, and bell pepper. Add them to your slow cooker. Then, add the turkey breast, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
    2.
    Mince the garlic and add it in. Pour in the chicken stock, lemon juice, and olive oil. Turn your slow cooker on, and let the soup cook for 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low.
    3.
    The turkey is ready once it pulls apart easily. Take it out of the slow cooker and place it on a plate. Shred it into bite-sized pieces.
    4.
    Return the shredded turkey to the pot and give everything a quick mix. Careful not to smash the butternut squash. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed.
    5.
    Divide the soup into 4 bowls. Garnish with some sliced spring onion. Serve immediately.
