Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
- 2 tablespoons cranberry sauce
- 1 cup mashed potatoes
- 4 cups chicken or turkey stock
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon herbs (rosemary, thyme, sage), finely chopped
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup croutons or stuffing (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the shredded or diced cooked turkey to the pot and stir to combine.
Mix in the cranberry sauce and mashed potatoes, breaking up the potatoes so they blend into the soup.
Pour in the chicken or turkey stock, then add the chopped herbs and bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Once the soup begins to simmer, stir in the frozen peas and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the soup to warm through for 3–4 minutes, but do not let it boil.
Season with salt and black pepper, tasting and adjusting as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with croutons or crumbled stuffing if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
