Creamy Turkey Soup

This is the perfect soup to use up some of that leftover turkey from the holidays. Chicken can be substituted if you'd like.

3 cups leftover turkey, chopped
6 cups chicken stock (Or boil the turkey carcass with herbs and veggies and make turkey stock).
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (white potatoes may be substituted)
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
3 - 4 carrots, sliced or chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/4 teaspoon sage
fresh ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons arrowroot powder
1/4 cup water

Bring chicken or turkey broth to a boil in a large pot.

Add potatoes, carrots, celery and onion and bring back to a boil. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until potatoes are almost tender.

Add turkey, cream, salt, pepper, thyme, and sage, stir well and return to a boil. Reduce to medium and simmer for another 5 minutes.

In a small bowl stir together arrowroot powder and water. Add to soup, stirring until soup begins to thicken.

As soon as the soup has thickened, which should only take a couple of minutes, remove from heat, taste for seasonings and serve.
