Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 cups chicken or turkey stock
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to eliminate any raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken or turkey stock while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
Add the diced potatoes, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the cooked turkey and let it heat through for 5 minutes.
Pour in the milk and heavy cream. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, being careful not to let it boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
