Creamy turkey and wild rice soup with tender veggies, perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner.

# Ingredienti:

→ Vegetables

01 - 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
02 - 2 celery stalks, chopped
03 - 1 large yellow onion, diced
04 - 1 cup cremini or button mushrooms, chopped or sliced

→ Seasonings & Spices

05 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (blend of oregano, rosemary, thyme)
06 - 1 teaspoon garlic salt

→ Liquids & Broth

07 - 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
08 - 6 cups turkey broth or low sodium stock
09 - ½ cup heavy cream or half and half (optional)

→ Grains & Starches

10 - ½ cup uncooked wild rice
11 - 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

→ Proteins

12 - 2 cups cooked turkey, shredded or cubed

# Istruzioni:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, celery, and onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes until onions turn translucent and vegetables soften at the edges.
02 - Stir in mushrooms, Italian seasoning, and garlic salt. Lower heat to medium-low and cook until mushrooms soften and aromas develop.
03 - Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir continuously for about 4 minutes on medium-low, ensuring even coating and preventing sticking.
04 - Pour in turkey broth and add wild rice. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low. Cover and simmer for 40-50 minutes until rice is tender.
05 - Remove pot from heat. Stir in cooked turkey and heavy cream if using. Cover and let rest for 3-5 minutes to warm through.
06 - Ladle soup into bowls and serve hot. Optionally garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added brightness.

# Note utili:

01 - Dice vegetables evenly to ensure uniform cooking. Use homemade or high-quality broth for deeper flavor. Allow the rice to simmer undisturbed to achieve perfect tenderness.
02 - Cool soup completely before refrigerating. Store in airtight containers for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
