Instructions
- Heat a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat, and cook the bacon pieces until crisp, about 6-7 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bacon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Remove bacon fat, leaving about 1 tablespoon in the pot.
- Add the butter to the pot and melt over medium heat, stirring into the bacon fat. Add the onion, celery, and leek, and cook for 2 minutes. Mix in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour the white wine into the pot, and cook for 2 minutes, gently stirring to incorporate the flour mixture with the wine.
- Add in the potatoes, thyme, sage, and pepper. Pour in water, chicken broth, and half-and-half. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook partially covered for 10 minutes. Add the carrots and simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the shredded turkey, peas, and cooked bacon, and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes.
- Add in the red wine vinegar, salt, and parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
- Serve hot in bowls or warm bread bowls. Garnish with a crack of black pepper, chopped chives, and fresh thyme leaves.
Notes
- Soup can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days. It reheats well, though the potatoes and turkey may absorb some liquid as it sits - so when reheating, add a splash of additional chicken broth to adjust the consistency if needed.
- To reheat, microwave until heated through or warm gently in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring often to avoid scorching.
