Step by Step How to Make Turkey Noodle Soup
This wonderful soup is a classic recipe my mom has been making for years. It’s one of those recipes that whenever I ask her how to make it, she says, “Oh you know, it’s not really a recipe. You just add what you want.”
The thing is many of us don’t live near moms and grandmas these days, and we DON’T KNOW what we want to add. We need details!
So here is exactly how to make this classic soup. This recipe does take a bit of time, but I promise it’s not difficult.
In a large stock pot, cook carrots, celery, and onions in a small amount (1-2 T) of oil until soft but not browned. Do this over medium heat.
Once vegetables are soft, add turkey or chicken broth. Click here to read about how to make turkey broth from a left-over turkey. Canned broth can also be used, but the end result will be much richer and more healthy if you use home made stock. Add seasonings.
Simmer soup for 30-60 minutes to blend flavors.
While you can use dry pasta, what really makes this soup amazing is using frozen egg noodles. My favorite brand by far is Grandma’s Egg Noodles.
Add noodles and cook according to package directions.
Then add 2 cups chopped, cooked turkey and simmer 10 minutes more.

Amazingly delicious turkey noodle soup!
