Turkey and Potato Chowder

I had some leftover smoked roasted turkey in the freezer that I need to use up so I decided to make a soup out of it. The soup was so good and filling. You could substitute rotisserie chicken in the place of the turkey. I think that it would work just as well.

Ingredients:
1 tbsp butter
1 medium onion
1.5 c carrots, finely diced
1 c celery, finely chopped
1 tbsp flour
4 medium potatoes, thinly chopped
2 c shredded cooked turkey
4 c chicken broth
1 c water
salt and pepper
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper (optional)
1/4 c fat free half-and-half

Directions:
Heat the butter in a large pot or Dutch oven. Add the onions, carrots and celery and cook over medium-low heat until they are soft. Add the flour and mix well. Put the sliced potatoes, chicken broth and water into the pot. Bring to a boil then lower to a simmer and cook until potatoes are soft. Add the turkey and the half-and-half and simmer until the soup is hot. Add the salt, pepper and crushed red pepper to taste.
