Prep: 10 min · Cook: 25 min · Yield: 6 · Method: Stovetop

Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked turkey
• 4 cups chicken or turkey broth
• 2 cups mixed vegetables
• 1 cup whole milk
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 small yellow onion
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 0.75 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Cooking instructions

1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and pepper, and cook until the onion softens, about 4 minutes. (about 4 min) — Medium heat
2. Add the broth, mixed vegetables, and thyme. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. (about 10 min) — Gentle simmer
3. Whisk the milk and flour in a bowl until smooth. Slowly pour the mixture into the simmering soup while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. (about 2 min) — Simmer
4. Cook, stirring often, until the soup thickens slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not let it boil rapidly. (about 5 min) — Low to medium heat
5. Stir in the cooked turkey and simmer until heated through and the soup reaches 165°F, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving. (about 5 min) — 165°F
