Author:
Recipe type: Soup
Ingredients
  • ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2-3 carrots, finely chopped
  • 2-3 celery ribs, finely chopped
  • 1 small – medium onion, finely chopped
  • ½ cup all purpose flour
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cups cooked wild rice (I used Uncle Ben’s Long Grain & Wild Rice)
  • 2 cups half & half cream
  • 2 cups turkey, cooked & cubed
  • 3 tbsp. fresh oregano, finely chopped
  • ½ tsp. ground sea salt
  • ½ tsp. ground cracked peppercorn
Instructions
  1. Melt butter over medium-high heat in a large pot or Dutch oven. Once melted add celery, carrots and onion; stir and cook until tender (approximately 15 minutes).
  2. Add flour, mix until well blended and cook until bubbly.
  3. Gradually whisk in broth, bring to a boil and cook, stirring continuously until it thickens.
  4. Add remaining ingredients, mix and simmer on low for 20-30 minutes.
  5. Serve and enjoy! Yield 6-8 servings.
Notes
* Substitute cooked gnocchi, thick egg noodles, potatoes or even homemade dumplings for rice if desired! * Don’t have leftover turkey---substitute chunks of chicken instead. * This soup is thick and creamy---if you prefer a thinner soup increase amount of broth and/or half & half.
