Turkey Soup Recipe
Description
This turkey soup starts by sautéing butter, celery, carrots, and garlic to develop mild aromatic flavors. Chicken and vegetable broths are added along with cooked turkey and dried herbs like basil and oregano. After bringing the soup to a boil, egg noodles are added and simmered until tender, yielding a hearty and satisfying meal.
The combination of broths and turkey creates a rich, layered flavor, while the vegetables contribute texture and sweetness. The egg noodles soften in the broth, absorbing flavors and making the soup more filling.
The recipe includes slow cooker instructions for convenience: all ingredients except noodles can be cooked on low or high heat for several hours, with noodles added near the end. This makes it suitable for hands-off preparation. Seasoning can be adjusted to taste before serving.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter unsalted
- ½ cup celery chopped
- 1 cup carrot sliced
- 3 teaspoon garlic minced
- 4 (14.5 ounce) cans chicken broth full sodium
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can vegetable broth
- 2 cups turkey cooked, chopped
- 1 teaspoon basil dried
- ½ teaspoon oregano dried
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
- 1 ½ cups egg noodles medium size
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add celery and carrots and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Then, add broths, chopped turkey, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat, add egg noodles and simmer for 20 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a slow cooker, add all ingredients except noodles and cook on low 6-7 hours or high 2-3 hours.
- Add noodles during the last 30-40 minutes in the slow cooker to prevent overcooking.
