Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 1 large celery stalk, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 5 cups chicken or turkey stock
• 1 cup milk
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups sweet corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat them evenly. Cook for 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste, stirring constantly.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the stock, ensuring there are no lumps, followed by the milk. Bring to a simmer.

Step 6

Add the diced potatoes and thyme to the pot. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Stir in the corn kernels, cooked turkey, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Let the soup simmer gently for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If the soup is too thick, add a splash of milk or stock to reach your desired consistency.

Step 9

Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley, if using. Pair with crusty bread for a comforting meal.
