Ingredients

Scale

Protein

  • 2 cups cooked boneless turkey breast or thighs, shredded or diced

Noodles

  • 2 cups egg noodles

Vegetables

  • 1 cup carrots, finely diced
  • 1 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Broth & Herbs

  • 6 cups chicken or turkey broth
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil (for sautéing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Finely dice the carrots, celery, and onion to ensure even cooking and to help release their flavors fully into the broth.
  2. Sauté Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant and translucent to create a flavorful base for the soup.
  3. Add Broth and Vegetables: Pour in chicken or turkey broth, then add the chopped carrots and celery. Bring to a gentle boil and allow to simmer until the vegetables soften, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Incorporate Turkey and Herbs: Add the shredded or diced cooked turkey along with fresh thyme and parsley. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors together.
  5. Cook the Noodles: Stir in the egg noodles and cook just until tender, typically 7 to 10 minutes, being careful not to overcook for best texture.
  6. Season and Serve: Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Ladle into bowls, optionally garnish with additional fresh herbs, and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use homemade broth for richer depth and flavor compared to store-bought varieties.
  • Add noodles last and promptly remove the pot from heat once tender to avoid mushy noodles.
  • Stir in fresh herbs just before serving to keep their bright, vibrant flavor.
  • Reserve turkey bones and simmer to create your own nutrient-rich broth.
  • Season gradually with salt to avoid over-salting; you can always add more later.
