Turkey Soup
Description
This soup starts by simmering a turkey carcass in chicken broth to extract rich flavor, then straining the bones out. Egg noodles, onion, celery, carrot, bay leaf, salt, pepper, rosemary, thyme, and chopped turkey meat are added and cooked until the noodles are tender. The long simmer and herbs create a classic, soothing soup.
The combination of turkey stock and fresh turkey meat gives depth to the broth while the vegetables offer texture and nutrition. Egg noodles make the soup filling and satisfying, appropriate for a meal that uses leftover turkey. The herb blend adds subtle fragrant notes.
