Turkey Noodle Soup

Put your leftover turkey to work with this quick and easy turkey noodle soup. 

Ingredients 
2 tablespoons olive oil or butter

2 cloves garlic chopped

1 onion finely chopped

1 carrot chopped

1 celery rib chopped

8 cups (2 quarts) chicken brothor turkey broth (I use beef bone broth from the @farmersdaughterscafe)

3 cups cooked turkey chopped or shredded

2 teaspoons fresh thyme minced, or ½ teaspoon dried

1 bay leaf

1 - 2 boxes noodles (I use Banza chickpea noodles, they are amazing!)

Salt and pepper

Fresh parsley minced, for garnish

Optional: parmesan cheese, grated.

Instructions 

• In a large pot or dutch oven heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add garlic, onion, carrots, and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper.
  

• Stir in broth, turkey, thyme, and bay leaf. Bring to simmer and cook until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add more salt and pepper to taste.
  

• Stir in noodles and cook until tender, about 5 minutes longer. Grate in cheese, I like to add the rind and let it melt into the soup. Remove from heat, season to taste with salt and pepper, and garnish with fresh parsley.
