Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 3 large carrots sliced into coins
  • 3 large stalks of celery sliced
  • 2 cups cubed roasted turkey white and dark meat
  • 8 cups turkey broth
  • 1 cup wild rice or a wild rice blend, which is what I usually use because wild rice is so darn expensive on its own
  • ⅔ cup half and half cream
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Melt the butter in a large soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add in the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add in the carrots and celery and cook until the veggies soften, about 10 minutes.
  3. Add in the turkey and turkey broth. Bring to a boil and add in the rice. Bring back to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice is soft, about 30 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat, and stir in the half and half, salt and pepper. Serve with crusty bread for dipping.
