Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2-3 cups shredded cooked turkey
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 6 cups chicken or turkey stock
  • 2-3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 3 cups egg noodles

Instructions

  • Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic, turkey, stock, thyme, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper to the Crock Pot. Stir. Place the lid on and set the temperature to HIGH and the timer to 3 hours.
  • After cooking for 2 ½ hours, remove the lid and add the egg noodles. Stir and replace the lid, and continue to cook for 30 minutes.
  • To serve, remove fresh thyme stems and ladle the soup into bowls.

Notes

Recipe 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 substitute the Italian herbs for lemon pepper, Zat'ar, or your favorite herb blend. Bay leaves and poultry seasoning are also good options for adding flavor. You can substitute dried thyme, basil, and rosemary for the Italian seasoning.
  • You can substitute the noodles for wide egg noodles or any small "shortcut" pasta like orzo or elbow macaroni.
How To Freeze: 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.
Leftovers: Place any leftover turkey soup 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.
