Make Turkey Soup Slow Cooker

Nothing can beat Grandma's Turkey Noodle Soup. It's just like love in a bowl.

My grandma always has some type of soup to heat up when you visit her, and my favorite is her turkey noodle soup. I recreated my grandma's turkey noodle soup the best I could. The flavors are spot on and the noodles are nice and tender. This recipe is great for using leftover turkey.

I made a homemade Turkey Stock for this soup since we had cooked a whole turkey earlier this week, I used the carcass, some veggies, seasonings, water, and cooked it my slow cooker. The turkey stock may seem like a lot of work, but it's really is simple, and adds a ton of flavor to this soup. (This turkey stock needs to be made overnight, or the day before making this soup).

The next day after I made the turkey stock (or you can buy it, Trader Joe's sells an amazing turkey stock!) I added the turkey stock, turkey, veggies, bay leaves, thyme, and black pepper to the slow cooker, I cooked all of that for 8 hours on low.

Then I cooked my noodles on the stove-top, then added them to the soup, and cooked for 1 1/2 hours more in the slow cooker, I did this so the noodles would get extra tender, just like grandma's soup. I always cook my noodles before adding to the slow cooker, I had a bad experience with noodles that disappeared into mush in the slow cooker when I added them raw.

▢
Slow Cooker- 6 quart or larger

▢ 7 cups turkey stock or broth (chicken broth may be used)
▢ 3 cups turkey cooked leftovers; shredded or diced
▢ 1 cup carrots sliced
▢ 1 cup celery sliced
▢ 1 cup white onion diced
▢ 2 bay leaves
▢ 1/2 tsp. thyme
▢ 1/8 tsp. pepper
▢ 8 oz. fettuccine noodles broken up, cooked separately
▢ 1/8 tsp. salt to taste

Add the stock or broth, turkey, carrots, celery, onion, bay leaves, thyme, and pepper to the slow cooker.
Cover, and cook on low for 8 hours.
After the 8 hours are up, cook the noodles for about 1-2 minutes shy of package directions in salted boiling water on the stove top.
Once the noodles are cooked, drain.
Add the noodles to the slow cooker with the soup, and continue to cook on HIGH for about an 1½ hours more, this will soften the noodles to perfection, and make the soup thicker.
Serve and enjoy.
