Creamy Turkey Wild Rice Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 tablespoons butter
• 0.25 cup diced onion
• 0.25 cup diced celery
• 0.33 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 cups turkey broth
• 0.33 cup shredded carrots
• 2 cups chopped leftover roasted turkey
• 2 cups cooked wild rice
• 0.25 cup chopped slivered almonds
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
• 0.5 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.75 cup half-and-half

Instructions

1. Prepare all ingredients for the soup.
2. Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and celery; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, approximately 5 minutes.
3. Stir in flour, cooking until it develops a light, yellowish-brown color, about 3 to 5 minutes.
4. Slowly whisk in turkey stock, ensuring the mixture is smooth and free of any flour lumps.
5. Add the diced carrot and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Cook, stirring frequently, until the stock thickens and the carrots are tender, around 2 minutes.
6. Incorporate the cooked turkey, wild rice, almonds, salt, and pepper. Simmer until everything is heated through, about 5 minutes.
7. Stir in lemon juice and half-and-half; heat gently, being careful not to boil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
