Method
 

  1. Heat the pot: Place a large pot over medium heat. Add butter and olive oil. Let them melt together.
  2. Cook the vegetables: Add onion, carrots, and celery. Stir often. Cook for 5 minutes until soft.
  3. Add garlic: Stir in garlic. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Make the base: Sprinkle flour over the vegetables. Stir well. Cook for 1 minute to remove raw flour taste.
  5. Add broth slowly: Pour in broth while stirring. This step prevents lumps and keeps Turkey Pot Pie Soup smooth.
  6. Add potatoes and herbs: Stir in potatoes, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a gentle boil.
  7. Simmer: Reduce heat. Simmer for 15 minutes until potatoes turn tender.
  8. Add turkey and peas: Stir in cooked turkey and peas. Cook for 5 minutes.

  10. Season and serve: Taste and add salt and pepper. Serve hot.

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.
