Wholesome Turkey and Rice Soup

Print Recipe

A heartwarming comfort food recipe that combines tender turkey, nourishing rice, and vibrant vegetables in a rich broth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 3 medium carrots (sliced into 1-inch pieces)
  • 2 celery ribs (diced)
  • 1 cup long grain white rice (rinsed)
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 8 cups turkey broth (low sodium or chicken broth)
  • 2 cups cooked turkey meat (sliced into 1-inch pieces)
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley (chopped)

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering—about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and diced celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the rinsed rice and minced garlic, cooking for another minute until fragrant, making sure not to let the garlic brown.
  4. Add the broth and bring the mixture to a vigorous boil, about 5 minutes. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in the cooked turkey meat, allowing it to warm through, about 3-5 minutes. Turn off the heat, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Leftover soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and frozen for up to 3 months. For a creamier soup, stir in a splash of cream or a pat of butter before serving.
