Notes
NOTE: I boiled off turkey tenderloins in the crockpot the day before. It yielded 2 cups turkey and about 1 ½ to 2 quarts of turkey broth.
NOTE: Texture in soup is a personal preference issue. If you want a thinner soup, omit the flour/water paste mixture. You can also add more cream or milk.
NOTE: You can also use regular flour in this recipe if you don't need to keep it gluten free.
