Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon butter I cook with salted butter
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 2 carrots cut into half moons
  • 2 ribs celery diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 - 3 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 pinch dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 8 cups low sodium chicken broth or use homemade turkey broth or stock
  • 4 cups cooked cubed turkey
  • 6 ounces egg noodles
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons parsley chopped

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Cook the onions, carrots, and celery until they soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper, cooking for another minute until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken or turkey broth and bring the soup to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Add the turkey and egg noodles, simmering until the noodles are tender, about 10 minutes.
  • Mix the flour and 1/2 cup water in a separate bowl until smooth, then stir in the heavy cream.
  • Gradually pour the flour-cream mixture into the soup, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
  • Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the soup to thicken.
  • Add the peas and cook for 1-2 more minutes, until heated through.
  • Finish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

Chef Jenn's Tips

  • This recipe is ideal for leftover turkey, especially after the holidays.
  • Cook the noodles separately and add them just before serving to keep them from soaking up too much liquid.
  • Keep the cooked noodles and soup in different containers so your leftovers stay delicious.
  • Feel free to add extra veggies like corn or green beans if you prefer.
