Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 medium leek, white and light green parts only, sliced
-
2 large stalks celery, sliced 1/8-inch thick
-
2 cloves garlic, minced
-
4 cups lower-sodium chicken broth or turkey broth
-
2 (4-inch) thyme sprigs, plus thyme leaves for garnish
-
¼ teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
2 cups shredded or diced leftover roasted turkey or thick-cut deli turkey
-
2 medium carrots, diagonally sliced 1/2-inch thick
-
1 cup frozen peas
-
Grated lemon zest & lemon wedges for garnish
Directions
-
Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium heat. Add leek and celery; cook, stirring often, until the vegetables have softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
-
Add broth, thyme sprigs, salt and pepper; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld, about 5 minutes. Stir in turkey and carrots; cook, undisturbed, until the carrots are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove and discard the thyme sprigs. Stir in peas; cook, undisturbed, for 30 seconds.
-
Divide the soup evenly among 4 bowls. Garnish with thyme leaves and lemon zest, if desired, and serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
