Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled diced
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 stalks celery, diced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
  • 1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup (I use Campbell's Healthy Request)
  • 3-4 cups diced, cooked turkey (or substitute with an equal amount of cooked, diced chicken)
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 2 cups uncooked dry medium egg noodles
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley; squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add carrots, onion, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender (about 10 minutes).
    Sauteed carrots, celery, and onion in a cast iron Dutch oven.
  • Add broth, soup, turkey, and poultry seasoning. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Stir in the noodles, reduce heat to low, and simmer at a low boil for about 7-9 minutes (or just until noodles are tender).

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the noodlesor they will become mushy in your soup. Add them to the pot just before you’re ready to serve. They will continue to soften as they sit in the hot broth.
  • This is a fairly thick pot of soup. If you prefer more broth in your bowl, just add extra broth (or water) at the end to thin the soup to the desired consistency.
