Ingredients

• 3 cups cooked turkey (shredded or cubed)
• 8 ounces egg noodles
• 2 medium carrots (peeled and sliced)

• 1 teaspoon dried parsley
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 cup fresh parsley (chopped, optional garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and sliced celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the chicken or turkey stock and bring it to a gentle boil.

Step 5

Add the dried thyme, dried parsley, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Add the shredded or cubed turkey and simmer for another 5 minutes to heat the turkey through.

Step 8

In a separate pot, cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 9

Remove the bay leaf from the soup and discard.

Step 10

Stir the cooked egg noodles into the soup just before serving to prevent them from becoming overly soft.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 12

Serve the soup hot in bowls, optionally garnished with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
