Curried Cream of Turkey Soup

Melt butter in 5-gallon stock pot. Over medium heat, saute onions, celery and garlic until translucent. Blend in flour to make a roux.

In another large stock pot, bring water to a boil. Blend in turkey base and stir until well combined. Add roux mixture to boiling stock and whisk to combine. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes.

Add cooked turkey, rice, curry powder, salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and stir in cream. Heat gently, but do not boil.

Serve 8-fluid-ounce portions. Garnish as desired.
