Equipment
- Large Stock Pot
- Spatula
- Ladle
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
Ingredients
- 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion chopped small
- 4 cloves garlic
- ½ tablespoon kosher salt
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon ground pepper
- 6 cups homemade turkey stock or store-bought
- 3-4 carrots peeled and chopped (about 3.5 cups)
- 3 cups leftover turkey chopped
- 3 ribs celery chopped (2 cups)
- 2-3 bay leaves
- 8- ounce egg noodles dry measured
Instructions
- In a large stock pot heat oil and cook onions until soft over medium heat.
- Add in garlic, salt and ground pepper and cook for 1 minute.
- Pour stock, carrots, leftover turkey, celery and bay leaves into the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce to a rolling simmer and cook for about 10 minutes or until the carrots are your desired tenderness.
- Meanwhile, cook egg noodles in a separate pot then add to your individual serving bowls and ladle it over top. Alternatively, add the cooked noodles into the stock pot and serve.
Notes
- Spoon over Noodles: Noodles are a great addition to soup, but they tend to soak up the broth. Serving the soup over cooked noodles prevents this and makes freezing easier, since noodles don’t hold up well after thawing.
- Use Homemade Stock: If you’ve saved your turkey carcass, make a homemade broth for the best flavor.
- Noodles on the Side: Keep noodles separate until serving to prevent them from absorbing too much broth.
- Double the Batch: Freeze half in a freezer-safe container for the best way to enjoy a quick meal later.
- Season to Taste: Don’t be afraid to add a splash of apple cider vinegar, lemon juice or a bundle of fresh herbs to your soup pot to enhance the flavor.
