Ingredients

  • For the Broth:

    • 14 cups water

    • 1 large onion, peeled

    • 2 celery stalks

    • 3 medium carrots, peeled

    • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

    For the Soup:

    • 2 to 3 cups chopped cooked turkey (white or dark meat)

    • 8 ounces dry egg noodles

    • 1 tablespoon low-sodium bouillon or broth seasoning

    • ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)


Instructions

  • In a large stockpot, combine water, onion, celery, and carrots. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium-low heat, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours to develop a rich vegetable broth.

  • Once done, remove the vegetables using a slotted spoon and set the carrots aside. Discard the onion and celery.

  • Add the chopped turkey and dry egg noodles to the pot. Add a bit more water if necessary. Chop the cooked carrots into bite-sized pieces and return them to the pot.

  • Stir in the bouillon or broth seasoning. Simmer the soup for about 8 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.

  • Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
