Turkey Noodle Soup
Description
This soup starts by softening diced onion, carrots, and celery in butter, enhanced with minced garlic and dried herbs like thyme, parsley, and basil. Sprinkling flour creates a roux that thickens the broth when turkey or chicken stock is added. The evaporated milk enriches the soup, producing a creamy texture without cream.
Shredded turkey and egg noodles cook gently in the broth until noodles are tender. Adding frozen peas near the end preserves their bright color and slight crispness. Seasoning with salt and pepper is adjusted depending on the turkey’s seasoning. The combination of vegetables and herbs supports a balanced flavor with savory depth.
This soup is a practical way to transform leftover turkey into a filling meal. It offers a pleasing contrast between the tender noodles, soft vegetables, and meaty turkey strands. Ideal served hot, it provides warmth and sustenance during cooler weather or as a soothing dish. Garnishing with fresh parsley adds freshness.
