Instructions
In a large pot, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Stir in the minced garlic, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the wild rice to the pot and stir to coat it with the aromatics and butter.
Pour in the chicken or turkey stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 35-40 minutes, or until the wild rice is tender.
Stir in the cooked turkey and allow it to heat through for 5 minutes.
In a small bowl, whisk the heavy cream and flour together to make a slurry. Slowly add the slurry to the soup while stirring constantly to thicken the broth.
