Ingredients
- 2 cups peeled and diced potatoes
- 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables
- cup diced onion
- cup diced celery
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cups turkey or chicken broth
- 1 cups diced leftover cooked turkey
- teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 cups fat-free half-and-half (or milk)

Directions
Step 1: In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, mixed vegetables, diced onions, celery, parsley, and chicken broth. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring it to a boil.
Step 2: Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer gently for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables become tender.

Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together the half-and-half (or milk) and flour until smooth. Gradually stir this mixture into the simmering soup. Continue stirring for about 5 minutes until the soup thickens to a chowder-like consistency.
Step 5: Season the soup with Sriracha, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir until well incorporated.
Step 6: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with crumbled bacon for an added crunch and flavor boost.
