Turkey Noodle Soup is the kind of simple, nourishing comfort food that feels like a warm hug in a bowl. It’s the perfect way to use leftover holiday turkey, transforming it into a cozy, flavorful meal that comes together in under an hour. Tender shredded turkey mingles with soft vegetables, aromatic herbs, and hearty egg noodles, all simmered in a rich, savory broth that tastes like pure comfort.
This soup starts with a classic base of onion, carrots, and celery sautéed in butter or olive oil. Once garlic hits the pot, the aroma instantly deepens, setting the stage for the broth and herbs to work their soothing magic. As the turkey warms through and the noodles soften, the broth takes on even more body and flavor. Each spoonful offers a perfect mix of texture and warmth.
