Turkey, Mushroom & Wild Rice Soup

Ingredients

Scale

1 Tbsp. avocado oil

1 onion, quartered

6 oz. cremini mushrooms, sliced

4 cloves garlic, crushed

2 cups water

8 cups chicken broth

4 carrots, sliced

2 stalks celery, chopped

2 tsp. sea salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1 1/2 cups wild rice blend

4 cups leftover turkey, cut into bite-sized chunks (roasted chicken works great too!)

1 Tbsp, fresh thyme, minced or 1 tsp. dried thyme

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.

Add onion and mushrooms and saute, stirring often until soft and golden.  Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.

Stir in water and scrap the bottom of the pan of any browned bits.  Transfer to a high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Return to pot and add chicken broth.

Add carrots, celery, salt & pepper, and wild rice blend.  Bring to boil over high heat.  Cover and reduce heat to simmer and cook until rice is tender, about 20-30 minutes.

Add in reserved turkey, parsley, and thyme and cook another 5-10 minutes until everything is heated through.
