Cooking Turkey Noodle Soup from Scratch

Ingredients

  • Cooked turkey: 2 cups, shredded or chopped
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons
  • Carrots: 2 medium, diced
  • Celery: 2 stalks, diced
  • Onion: 1 medium, diced
  • Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
  • Chicken or turkey broth: 8 cups
  • Egg noodles: 2 cups (uncooked)
  • Dried thyme: 1 teaspoon
  • Dried oregano: 1/2 teaspoon
  • Bay leaves: 2
  • Salt and pepper: to taste
  • Fresh parsley: chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables:
    • In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced carrots, celery, and onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
    • Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  2. Add the Broth and Seasonings:
    • Pour in the chicken or turkey broth. Add the dried thyme, oregano, and bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Cook the Noodles:
    • Add the egg noodles to the pot and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 6-8 minutes, until al dente.
  4. Add the Turkey:
    • Stir in the cooked turkey and continue to simmer until the turkey is heated through, about 5 minutes.
  5. Finish and Serve:
    • Remove the bay leaves and discard them. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
    • Serve the soup hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
