- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

- 2 stalks celery stalks, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken or turkey broth

Instructions
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the finely diced onion, diced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the cubed potatoes to the pot and pour in the chicken or turkey broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Add the shredded turkey, green beans, and corn kernels to the pot. Stir to combine.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently. Season the soup with ground nutmeg, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning as desired.
Allow the soup to simmer, uncovered, for another 10 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your festive Mrs Claus Christmas Welcome Soup!
