Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs boneless turkey breast
  • 1 can 28 oz crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley chopped
  • 4 dinner rolls for serving

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cut the 2 lbs turkey breast into large chunks and season with salt and pepper. Sear the turkey pieces until golden brown on all sides, about 6 to 8 minutes total. Set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté the diced yellow onion and minced garlic in the residual oil and turkey drippings for 2 to 3 minutes until softened. These aromatics will infuse the soup with deep flavor.
  3. Transfer the browned turkey and sautéed onion and garlic to your slow cooker. Add the crushed tomatoes, chicken broth, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to distribute the spices evenly. Cook on low for 4 to 5 hours.
  4. About 15 minutes before serving, cut the softened 8 oz cream cheese into small cubes and add to the slow cooker along with the 1 cup heavy cream. Stir constantly until the cream cheese melts smoothly. Add the 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese and stir until silky and combined.
  5. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve alongside warm dinner rolls for dipping and soaking up the creamy tomato sauce.

Notes

For best results, soften the cream cheese before adding it to prevent lumps. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add more chicken broth. This soup freezes beautifully for up to 2 months, making it perfect for meal prep. Thaw overnight before reheating gently on the stovetop.
