Turkey or Chicken Noodle Soup
Turkey or Chicken Noodle Soup
This is a from a good friend and it sounds wonderful, I really like the addition of the potatoes. This recipe as listed is for using leftover turkey or chicken, which is perfect, especially with a leftover turkey. If you wish to make this with fresh chicken, or even turkey legs or wings, use the fresh meat to make the broth with trinity (carrot, onion, celery) first, then proceed as this is written. Link to the shortcut is listed in the Recipe Notes section.
Ingredients
- 500 grams turkey or chicken, shredded or chopped
- 8 cups broth, chicken or vegetable, low salt
- 7 cups water
- 1 tablespoon sea salt, or 1 teaspoon table salt
- 6 medium potatoes, diced
- 3 medium carrots, diced if big, sliced if medium or small
- 1/2 cup dry spaghetti, broken into 1 inch pieces
- 2 stalks celery, finely diced
- 1 medium onion, finely diced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Mrs. Dash Seasoning, OR make from a shortcut
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- I boiled 5 chicken quarters, separated, and made the broth for this soup. Here is the chopped leg and thigh meat, fork tender and juicy.
- Add the broth and water to a large pot and the salt, note the differences between sea salt and table salt as well. Add the potatoes and bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.
- For the carrots, if using large Thai carrots, only need two, go ahead and dice those, if using the slender carrots like in the US, slice those into rings and add them to the pot once the water is boiling. Add the bay leaves as well. Add the broken pasta to the pot.
- Heat a large non stick pan on medium heat and add the olive oil, when hot, add the celery and onion, saute until golden and soft then add to the soup pot with the soup.
- Add the chicken or turkey meat to the pot, also add the Mrs. Dash seasoning and black pepper. Taste and adjust salt and pepper to your desired liking.
- Simmer the soup until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
- Ladle into bowls and serve.
Notes
For a leftover dish, this is low cost as the turkey or chicken is already paid for in another recipe. If using fresh chicken to make a chicken soup, still low cost for 10 servings.
Shortcut: Mrs. Dash Seasoning.

I made this on 3 Nov 2017 and is delicious, very well received by the family as well. I made the broth with 5 chicken quarters and trinity, about 10 cups, did not use any additional water, everything else used as listed. Perfect, another Go-To soup recipe for me. Highly recommended.
