Mashed Potato And Turkey Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cups button mushrooms, sliced
1 medium carrot, coarsely grated
1 teaspoon dried thyme
4 cups low sodium chicken broth
3 cups mashed potatoes
2 cups cooked turkey, chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Preparation

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add the onion, mushrooms, carrot, and thyme, and saute until the onion is just translucent, about 4-5 minutes.
Add the broth and mashed potatoes. Stir until potatoes are mostly dissolved and broth is smooth.
Add the turkey and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
