# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 42 grams salted butter
02 - 3 large carrots, peeled and chopped
03 - 2 stalks celery, chopped
04 - 1 yellow onion, diced
05 - 0.5 teaspoon fine salt
06 - 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
07 - 2 teaspoons minced garlic
08 - 1.5 teaspoons dried thyme
09 - 1.9 litres turkey broth
10 - 3 cups cooked turkey, shredded
11 - 200 grams uncooked white rice
12 - 60 millilitres heavy cream

# How to Make It:

01 - Melt the butter over low heat in a large saucepan or stock pot. Add carrots, celery, and onion. Season with salt and pepper, stirring to combine.
02 - Add the minced garlic and dried thyme to the pan. Sauté on medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are softened and fragrant, about 10 minutes.
03 - Incorporate the shredded turkey and pour in the turkey broth. Stir well to ensure even distribution.
04 - Add the uncooked white rice. Raise the heat moderately to bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the rice and vegetables are fully tender, stirring occasionally.
05 - Lower the heat, stir in the heavy cream, and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, with optional garnish of chopped fresh parsley and a side of bread.

# Extra Information:

01 - For best results, use homemade turkey stock and day-old cooked turkey for optimal flavour and texture.
