4 cups chicken or turkey broth
2 cups half & half
1 tablespoon dried thyme

In a large heavy stew pot, heat the vegetable oil, then sauté the celery and onion until the onion is clear.
Stir the flour into the celery and onion mix, stir and cook until the flour is incorporated.
Stir in the butter, then add the broth stirring to incorporate the flour mixture, it will begin to thicken.
Add the half and half to the mix and stir until it is completely blended, it should be a very smooth creamy sauce.
Stir in the thyme, sage, parsley, salt and pepper, mix well.
Last add in the vegetables, turkey or chicken.
If the soup is to thick for you then just add more broth to thin.
Place the lid on the stew pot and let simmer on low for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring every once in a while to keep from sticking on the bottom.
Enjoy!
