Turkey Noodle Soup

 

Our Turkey Noodle Soup is one of those recipes that makes me feel good just thinking about it. A great place to go with some of the turkey left overs that is so comforting for just relaxing after being in the kitchen for days. Just put these ingredients in a big soup pot to simmer, kick back and enjoy some rest time. Dip this up in a nice soup cup and the first bite is worth the wait! The soup has a great balance of turkey, broth, and seasons and can be enjoyed anytime of the year !

How To Make Turkey Noodle Soup

I like to sauté the carrots, celery and onion in 

some olive oil and butter.

I have some nice rich broth prepared from some of the turkey drippings and some turkey broth or you can use chicken broth. I like to add some butter to this broth to enhance the flavor.

Next I will add the turkey and the sautéed vegetables, making sure to stir after each addition. 

At that point I add the seasons and stir well.

Last I will add the noodles, 

and cook on medium heat until it comes to boil. 

At that point I put the lid on the soup pot and bring it down to

 simmer until the noodles are soft about 1 hour.

Just give the soup a little fresh parsley garnish and 

it will be ready for serving.

3. Add the sautéed carrots, celery, onions and garlic, stir well.
4. Add the thyme, poultry seasoning, salt and pepper, stir well.

6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes:

This recipe can be frozen for 3 months. Can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days without freezing. This is a great gift for friends, just put it in a fruit jar, add a ribbon with a spoon and your friend will love it!

Piping Hot, you need let it cool for a little minute!

This bowl of goodness would be really good with a 

Turkey Apple Salad Sandwich!

It was so much fun making this soup today with my daughter in the kitchen with me. Food is always better when we can share it with a friend or loved one. Hope you are having a great week and come back to see us real soon!

Peace and Joy
