Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 large Onion (diced (about 2 cups))
  • 3 large Celery Ribs (diced (about 1 1/2 cups))
  • 2 large Carrots (diced (about 2 cups))
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon Poultry Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (or more to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 quarts Turkey Stock (or chicken broth)
  • 1 pound Shredded Turkey (about 4 cups)
  • Fresh Parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat a 4.5 quart soup pot over medium-high heat. Add OLIVE OIL and heat until shimmering.

  2. 2

    Add the ONION, CELERY, and CARROTS. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften.

  3. 3

    Add the GARLIC, POULTRY SEASONING, SALT, and BLACK PEPPER to the pot. Cook for another 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant.

  4. 4

    Pour in the TURKEY STOCK and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

  5. 5

    Stir in the SHREDDED TURKEY and simmer for an additional 5–10 minutes, until the turkey is warmed through.

  6. 6

    Taste and adjust the seasoning with more SALT or BLACK PEPPER, if needed.

  7. 7

    Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness, if desired.
