Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the ingredients: cut the mushrooms into 1/2-inch (1 cm) cubes or slices, dice the onion, finely chop garlic, cut celery into slices, cut carrots into 1/2-inch (1 cm) cubes, chop turkey meat into small cubes.
  2. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. When hot, add the mushrooms in an even layer. Don't stir for the first 1-2 minutes letting the mushrooms brown. Then cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring from time to time until the mushrooms have reduced their volume and are browned. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium/medium-low. Add the butter to the pot. When it's melted and bubbling, add the onions, carrots, and celery. Cook for a couple of minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.
  4. Add the garlic, thyme, and poultry seasoning. Cook for 30 seconds.
  5. Stir in the flour, cook for 1 minute.
  6. Add the wine, cook until almost evaporated.
  7. Add rice and broth. Bring to a boil then simmer over low heat for 40 minutes.
  8. Add turkey and mushrooms to the pot. Cook for a further 5 minutes.
  9. Add cream and lemon juice. Take the pot off the heat and season with salt and pepper.
  10. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use leftover chicken meat and chicken broth instead of turkey.
  • If you're not cooking with wine you can omit it but it adds flavor and a little bit of acidity to the soup.
  • Mushrooms can also be omitted.
