- 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt

Instructions
- Cook bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove and reserve 1 tablespoon of bacon fat in the pot.
- Add butter and melt into the bacon drippings. Stir in onion, celery, and leek and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly pour in white wine and stir until smooth.
- Add potatoes, thyme, sage, pepper, water, chicken broth, and half-and-half. Cover and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Add carrots and simmer 5 minutes more until vegetables are tender.
- Stir in shredded turkey, peas, and cooked bacon. Warm through.
- Add red wine vinegar, salt, and parsley. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Serve hot and garnish with chives or fresh thyme.
Notes
Add extra broth when reheating to loosen the soup as potatoes absorb liquid. Substitute heavy cream plus milk if needed. For a thicker soup, simmer a few extra minutes or add a small cornstarch slurry. Freezing is not recommended due to the dairy base.
