Ingredients
- 1 small onion
- 3 carrots
- 2 celery stalks
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup flour
- 10 cups chicken broth
- 4 cups chopped leftover turkey
- 24 ounces frozen egg noodles
- 12 ounces canned evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon cracked pepper
Instructions
- Dice the onion and chop the carrots and celery into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic.
- Add the butter to a large stock pot or dutch oven over medium heat and let melt.
- Add the onion, carrots, and celery to the melted butter and cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 more minute.
- Sprinkle the flour over the vegetables and stir to form a paste. Cook for 1 minute.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly, until mixture has thickened a bit, about 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and bring to a low boil. Simmer for 20 minutes or until noodles are tender. For a thinner soup, add additional chicken broth.
- Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if needed, before serving.

Notes
- Our recipe makes for a fairly thick soup, which we love. To make the soup even thicker, add an extra couple of tablespoons of flour to the vegetables in step 4. For a thinner soup, add additional chicken broth in step 6.
- We keep the seasoning pretty simple, but do sometimes add in a hefty sprinkle of cajun seasoning to add a little kick to this soup.
