Slow Cooker Turkey and Butternut Squash Keto Soup
Nothing says winter more than a heartwarming soup filled with butternut squash, satiating turkey, and soul-rejuvenating flavors. This turkey dish is rich, filling, and loaded with sweet and umami flavors. The combination of butternut squash, peppers, and turkey makes for a well-balanced flavor combination that you won’t be able to resist. This Keto soup slow cooker recipe will become one of your go-to options.
What can you replace the turkey breast with?
Instead of breast, you can opt for turkey thighs. You can also make this Keto soup using chicken thighs or breasts.
Can you make this recipe without a slow cooker?
Of course, you can! To make it on the stovetop, start by sauteing the onions, garlic, ginger, and curry in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Then add the remaining ingredients to the pot, let the soup come to a boil, drop the heat and let it simmer for an hour or two, or until the turkey is super tender. Once cooked, shred the turkey, and mix in the lemon juice. Serve and add the garnish on top.
If you are using an instant pot, you can sauté the onions and peppers first to boost the flavor. Then, add the remaining ingredients, lock the lid into place, and cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Once cook time is done, let the pressure release and unlock the lid. Shred the turkey breast and serve.
Is this slow cooker Keto soup suitable for meal prep?
Absolutely! Many Keto slow cooker recipes make for satisfying Keto lunch meals any day of the week. You can prepare a large batch of this Keto soup, serve some of it for dinner, and store the rest in individual containers in the fridge. When ready to eat, microwave the soup for a couple of minutes until heated through, then add the herbs.

This soup is so bland. My husband and I tried adding all kinds of things and it literally has zero flavor.

In the preamble description it refers to coconut milk however there is no mention of it in the ingredients or instructions. I made the soup and it is water and not appealing. Should it include coconut milk??
