Turkey Noodle Soup Recipe
This simple Turkey Noodle Soup is great for using up leftover turkey! It's got classic egg noodles, carrots, celery, and onion simmered in a herby broth with chunks of turkey!
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large onion diced
- 3 large carrots peeled and diced
- 3 celery stalks diced
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt divided
- ½ teaspoon black pepper divided
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 ½ teaspoon fresh sage chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme chopped, plus more for serving
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 8 cups turkey or chicken broth
- 3 cups cooked turkey shredded or diced
- 3 ounces egg noodles about 2 cups
Instructions
- Heat the butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion, carrots, celery, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add garlic, sage, thyme, rosemary, and remaining salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add turkey broth and bring to a boil. Allow to boil for about 5 minutes to allow the veggies to continue cooking. Then, add in the turkey and egg noodles. Continue to boil until the noodles are tender, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the soup from the heat and stir in the extra fresh thyme.
Notes
- My Top Tip: Don’t overcook the veggies! Sauté the onions, carrots, and celery just until softened. They’ll continue to cook in the broth, so you get a tender texture without them becoming too soft.
- Storage: To store, let the soup cool completely and transfer it to an airtight container. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze your soup (without noodles, if possible) for up to 3 months. When reheating, warm the soup on the stovetop over medium heat until hot. If it has thickened, add a splash of broth or water to restore the broth’s consistency. For the best results with leftovers, cook fresh noodles separately and add them when serving.
