Gourmet Turkey Soup

My friend Mindy gave me this recipe. It is wonderful. I make it after every Thanksgiving with left over turkey and at other times with left over chicken. Thanks Mindy!!

1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/4 chopped onions
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 cup diced potatoes
1/2 cup diced carrots

3 cups turkey or chicken broth (low sodium, low fat)
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 package (9-10 oz) frozen French style green beans
1 1/2 cup diced cooked turkey (or chicken)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon crumbled parsley
2/3 cup half and half (skim milk is just as good)
3 tablespoons flour
