Ingredients

3 large red potatoes, diced
1 onion, chopped
1 cup diced cooked turkey
1 cup diced cooked ham
⅔ cup diced celery
⅔ cup sliced carrots
⅔ cup chopped asparagus
⅔ cup frozen peas
⅔ cup peeled and cubed butternut squash
1 (32 ounce) carton chicken broth
1 cup water
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, or to taste
1 teaspoon ground white pepper, or to taste
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
3 bay leaves
¼ cup butter
7 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk

Steps:

Combine potatoes, onion, turkey, ham, celery, carrots, asparagus, peas, and butternut squash in a large pot. Pour chicken broth and water over mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer soup until potatoes and squash are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir Italian seasoning, white pepper, salt, and bay leaves into soup and continue to simmer.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk flour into butter, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 1 minute. Slowly stir milk into flour mixture until mixture it smooth and thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir milk mixture into soup and cook until thickened and heated through, 3 to 5 minutes.
