Turkey and Rice Soup

Step 1

In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and butter.

Step 2

Once butter is melted, add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, stirring occasionally (about 8-10 minutes). Add garlic and cook 1 more minute.

Step 3

Add basil, oregano, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.

Step 4

Add turkey broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5

Reduce heat to medium-low. Add rice, stirring to combine.

Step 6

Simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the rice is almost done, but still has some firmness to it. Then, add the cubed turkey. Cook for 15-20 more minutes, or until the rice has cooked through and is tender.

Step 7

Garnish with parsley and serve.
