Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 2 celery stalks, sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded or diced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 6 cups chicken or turkey broth
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1.5 cups frozen peas
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the shredded turkey, cubed potatoes, broth, thyme, rosemary, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

Step 6

Use a slotted spoon to remove 2 cups of the soup mixture, including vegetables and turkey, and set aside. Use an immersion blender to puree the remaining soup in the pot until smooth and creamy. (Alternatively, transfer to a blender, blend until smooth, and return to the pot.)

Step 7

Return the reserved soup mixture to the pot, stirring to combine.

Step 8

Add the heavy cream and frozen peas, and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to warm through.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy your creamy turkey vegetable soup!
