Easy-to-make Crock Pot soup is the perfect recipe to use up leftover Thanksgiving turkey! It’s a comfort food meal loaded with turkey, tender noodles, carrots, celery, and onions, all in a flavorful broth that’s guaranteed to make you feel warm and cozy from the inside out.

Turkey, check. Turkey sandwiches, done. Now, it’s time to move on to the good stuff. This leftover turkey soup recipe is so good that it will have you joyfully slurping up every single spoonful from the bowl.

I love this recipe not only for the incredible flavor that it has but, also that I’ve cut down on waste using ingredients I had on hand. Turkey Noodle Soup is a no-stress recipe that’s just right after a busy holiday when it’s time to sit back and relax with a big bowl of deliciousness.

This recipe is super easy to make using a Crock Pot. You just chop some vegetables and add them to the slow cooker, along with shredded leftover turkey, herbs, seasoning, and broth. Next, stir everything together and cook for a few hours. Lastly, toss in some noodles and let the magic happen.

  • Leftover Turkey – you can use turkey breasts, dark meat, or a combination of both.
  • Onion
  • Carrot
  • Celery
  • Garlic
  • Fresh Thyme
  • Italian Seasoning
  • Chicken Stock – low sodium stock or broth is preferred

How Long Does This Soup Cook In The Slow Cooker?

Set the temperature to HIGH and cook for 3 hours. You can cook on LOW for 5 hours if needed.

Do You Cook The Noodles Before Adding Them To The Soup?

Nope, you don’t have to! All you do is add the egg noodles to the slow cooker 30 minutes before serving. The noodles will cook in the hot broth to finish the soup recipe.

Substitutions And Variations

  • No leftover turkey? Just substitute chicken. This recipe works well for an easy weeknight meal using a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store.
  • You can change out the Italian herbs for lemon pepper, Zat’ar, or your favorite herb blend. Bay leaves and poultry seasoning are also good options to add flavor.
  • Change out the noodles for wide egg noodles or any small “short cut” pasta like orzo or elbow macaroni.

Storing And Reheating Leftovers

To store any leftover turkey soup, place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, warm it in the microwave or on the stove-top.

This soup is a great freezer meal, but make sure you freeze it without the noodles. Cook the soup per the instructions and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw, heat, and add the noodles before serving.

What To Serve With Turkey Noodle Soup

Grab a big bowl and spoon because you are going to love this soup. Honestly, I don’t think thanksgiving leftovers have ever tasted so good. Here’s what I like to serve with easy turkey noodle soup:

  • Creamed Corn Cornbread Muffins, Zucchini Cheese Quick Bread, Puffed Pastry Cheese Straws, Easy Beer Bread.
  • Best Caprese Salad, Everyday Green Salad, Spinach Pear Salad, Green Bean Salad
