  • Chop the potato & celery into 1 cm cubes. Start boiling them in salted water (until cooked but firm).

  • Slice the red onion into  2 cm pieces, and the brown mushrooms vertically, and start frying them in a wee bit of olive oil & butter (until just starting to brown).

  • Add the frozen peas to the boiling potato & celery to thaw and lightly cook them.

  • When the potato, celery, and peas are ready, transfer them to a  3ℓ soup pot.

  • When the onion & mushrooms are ready, transfer them to the soup pot.

  • In a  2ℓ pot whisk together the cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, whipping cream, and half & half cream. Start to heat the mixture (just to a boil).

  • Whisk the sour cream into 100 mℓ of the soup mixture to temper it, then add it back to the mixture.

  • Mash the garlic into a paste with a wee bit of salt and add that to the mixture.

  • When the soup mixture just starts to boil, transfer it to the soup pot, and put the soup pot on very low heat.

  • Chop the green onion into 5 mm pieces and add them to the soup.

  • Chop the turkey into 1½  cm cubes & add them to the soup, which is now done, but should meld at least for a bit before serving.

  • About 15 minutes before serving, bake the Pillsbury® Country Biscuits according to the instructions on the package. Serve the soup with the biscuits and butter to schmear.
