Notes
Turkey Pot Pie Soup tastes best when you keep the heat gentle. High heat can split the cream and make the soup grainy. Always add cream at the end and stir slowly. If the soup feels too thick, add a splash of broth. If it feels thin, simmer a few more minutes. Use cooked turkey, not raw, to keep the texture tender. Fresh herbs work well, but dried herbs stay consistent. Leftover Turkey Pot Pie Soup thickens as it cools, so adjust with broth when reheating.
