Turkey Soup Recipe
Description
Turkey Soup combines sautéed onions and flour as a base, then adds sliced carrots, celery, shredded cooked turkey, and turkey broth with poultry seasoning and a bay leaf. The soup simmers to allow flavors to meld and vegetables to soften before adding medium pasta shells to cook until tender.
The resulting soup is a warm and hearty bowl with tender vegetables, tender pasta, and flavorful turkey infused broth. Fresh parsley adds brightness at the end. The seasoning is mild but layered through the broth with poultry seasoning and bay leaf adding depth.
For best texture, it's advisable to cook pasta separately if making the soup ahead to prevent it from becoming overly soft. The soup can use chicken broth as a substitute and leftovers store well refrigerated or frozen for convenience.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion diced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 3 large carrot large, peeled and sliced
- 2 ribs celery sliced
- 2 to 3 cups turkey or shredded, cooked, chopped
- 8 cups turkey broth or chicken broth, homemade or store bought
- ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 ounces medium pasta shells about 1 ½ cups, or other medium pasta
- 1 tablespoon parsley optional, chopped, fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add flour and cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir in carrots, celery, chopped turkey, broth, poultry seasoning, and bay leaf. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Add noodles (*see note) and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes or until tender. Remove from the heat, discard bay leaf, and stir in parsley.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
Notes
- To keep pasta texture, cook noodles separately and add to bowls when serving if making soup ahead.
- Chicken broth can be used as a substitute for turkey broth.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 4 months.
