Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium onion chopped
4 cloves garlic minced
4 sticks celery chopped
3 large carrots peeled & sliced
1.5 pounds baby potatoes cut into halves
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 cups cooked turkey meat or more, to taste
1/2 cup heavy/whipping cream
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté until it's lightly browned (5-7 minutes).
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Add the celery, carrots, potatoes, broth, water, and Italian seasoning. Increase the heat to high and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover the pot with the lid slightly open. Simmer for 10 minutes.
Add the turkey meat and allow the soup to simmer for another 10 minutes or so.
Stir in the cream and season with salt & pepper to taste.

Notes

You don't need to use baby potatoes... regular ones are fine as long as the weight is similar. I just find them easy.
I used 2 cups cooked turkey, but you could definitely add a lot more if you need to!
Serves 4-6.
