This Turkey Noodle Soup is the perfect way to put your leftover Thanksgiving Turkey to good use! Tastes just like my Classic Chicken Noodle soup but made with turkey!
I love noodle soup. Chicken noodle soup is one of my all-time favorite recipes to make, and you can try it here with my Chicken Noodle Soup Recipe.
Well after Thanksgiving I had a lot of extra turkey, so I wanted to do something with it. I made Turkey Noodle Soup, and it was amazing!
Just like a Classic Chicken Noodle Soup, this is hearty and delicious. Everyone will love it!
How to make Turkey Noodle Soup:
This soup is made just like a chicken noodle soup. You start by cooking your veggies first to soften them a little.
Then add in your broth, water and seasoning and bring to a boil. Once you bring it to a boil you will add in your noodles.
Finally, you will add in the already cooked turkey to get warm with the rest of the soup. Serve with some Butter Swim Biscuits or Cornbread Muffins!
Ingredient Notes:
- Turkey Breast – cooked and chopped into chunks. Perfect for Thanksgiving leftovers
- Oil – you could also use butter.
- Onion – chopped
- Carrots – peeled and chopped.
- Garlic – minced.
- Water
- Chicken Broth – vegetable broth or even stock would work as well.
- Seasoning – I used thyme, rosemary, oregano, salt & pepper
- Egg Noodles
Directions:
Step One – Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add in chopped onion, celery, and carrots. Sauté for 5 minutes then add in minced garlic.
Step Two – Add water and broth to your pot and sprinkle in all seasonings.
Bring to a boil then reduce heat and allow to simmer for 5 minutes until vegetables are becoming tender.
Step Three – Add in egg noodles and allow to cook for 10 minutes until noodles are cooked.
Step Four – Last add in turkey and allow to cook until turkey is warmed. Add more seasoning to taste than serve and enjoy.
How to Season Chicken Noodle Soup:
I use a few different seasonings for this recipe. You can season it to taste, so use more or less than what I recommend.
Here is what I season my recipe with.
- thyme
- rosemary
- oregano
- salt
- pepper
Can I freeze this soup?
Yes, this soup is really simple to freeze. Cook the recipe as per instructions, except do not add the noodles.
The noodles will get too soggy over time being frozen. Once it’s done allow it to cool completely then add it to a large freezer bag or into individual bags or freezer safe containers for a single serving.
Keep in the freezer for 3-4 months.
Reheating Instructions:
Allow thawing in the fridge then reheat in the stovetop or microwave.
Once your soup is hot add your noodles to the recipe and cook for about 10 minutes to get the noodles ready.
