Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 medium Celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.25 cup All-purpose flour
• 6 cups Chicken or turkey stock
• 3 cups Cooked turkey, shredded or diced
• 2 cups Cooked rice
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Frozen peas, thawed

Directions

Step 1

In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the chicken or turkey stock, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Step 6

Add the cooked turkey, cooked rice, thyme, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir well and simmer for 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and thawed peas. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the soup is heated through and the peas are tender.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 9

Serve hot with crusty bread or crackers on the side for a complete and satisfying meal.
