Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked turkey (shredded or cubed)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion (diced)
- 2 carrots (peeled and diced)
- 2 celery stalks (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 6 cups chicken or turkey broth
- 2 medium potatoes (peeled and diced)
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, optional)
Instructions
In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the chicken or turkey broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Add the diced potatoes, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Stir in the shredded turkey and frozen peas. Cook for another 5 minutes to heat through.
Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir until well combined and warmed through, but do not let the soup boil.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
