Step 3

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

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir well to coat. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to eliminate any raw flour taste.

Step 7

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Stir in the cooked turkey and let it heat through for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Pour in the milk and heavy cream. Simmer gently for 5-7 minutes, being careful not to let it boil.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 11
