Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt butter in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Add chopped mushrooms, diced carrots, minced onion, and diced celery. Sauté for 8-10 minutes.
  2. Sprinkle flour over sautéed vegetables, stirring to combine. Add dried thyme, savory, parsley flakes, white pepper, and black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Gradually whisk in chicken broth to avoid lumps. Increase heat to bring to a gentle boil.
  4. Once boiling, add pasta and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer uncovered for 8-10 minutes, or until al dente.
  5. Stir in cooked turkey and half-and-half cream until combined. Heat through for 2-3 minutes, ensuring it doesn't boil.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
