How to Make Turkey Noodle Soup
There is nothing like homemade soup. Every Thanksgiving, I use the turkey bones to make Thanksgiving Turkey Stock and one of the really quick and easy things that I like to do with it is to transform it into Turkey Noodle Soup.
Although the stock is flavorful on it’s own, a good hearty homemade soup needs a few vegetables to make it sing. Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat in a soup pot or a dutch oven.
Once it’s hot, add chopped onion, carrots, celery, minced garlic, a bay leaf and dried thyme.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-6 minutes until the veggies start to soften a bit.
Add the turkey stock to the soup pot and raise the heat to medium-high. Bring to a boil. Add the wide egg noodles, cook and stir for about 5 minutes until the noodles are tender.
Fold in the turkey, kosher salt and pepper, stir to combine and then simmer until heated through.
The turkey noodle soup is ready to eat or freeze. Enjoy!
