Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced 1/4 inch thick
3 leeks (white and light green parts only), halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
3 carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Zest of 1 lemon (removed in wide strips with a vegetable peeler), plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice
3 bay leaves (preferably fresh)
12 ounces cooked turkey (white and dark meat; skin removed), cut into cubes (about 3 cups)
1 cup wild rice blend
6 cups baby spinach (about 7 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a medium dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring once or twice, until well browned, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook until melted. Add the leeks and carrots and season with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks are softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the thyme and stir to combine. Add the chicken broth, lemon zest, bay leaves and 3 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium to maintain a simmer. Add the turkey and wild rice; simmer until the rice is just tender, 13 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the spinach and simmer until wilted, about 1 minute. Discard the bay leaves and lemon zest and stir in the lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Divide the soup among bowls.

The soup was too thick for my taste. I had to add some water to thin it out.

This soup is a bit bland. I had to add some salt and pepper to make it more flavorful.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover turkey. It's also a great soup to make ahead of time.

I'm not a big fan of turkey, but I really enjoyed this soup. The wild rice and vegetables helped to balance out the flavor of the turkey.

This soup was a hit with my family! The combination of turkey, wild rice, and vegetables was flavorful and hearty. I especially liked the addition of the cranberries, which gave the soup a slightly tart flavor.
