2 Tablespoons butter

1-2 cups sliced carrots
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 cup water
43.5 ounces chicken broth (or turkey stock)
1 cup elbow noodles , uncooked

Instructions

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium-heat. Add the carrots, celery and onion. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until onions are soft.
Add the water and chicken broth to the pot. Bring to a boil and cook for about 10minutes.

Next add the noodles, turkey, thyme, salt, pepper and garlic powder and bring to a boil. Cook for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the noodles are cooked.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Every turkey is seasoned differently, so add salt accordingly. Ladle into bowls and serve warm.

Notes

You can also use leftover chicken for this recipe too. Tastes just as yummy!
This soup will keep in the refrigerator for about 3 to 4 days if stored in an airtight container.
To freeze: Make the recipe without the noodles and store in an airtight container in the freezer. When ready to eat, thaw in the refrigerator over night. Cook the noodles in a separate pot while you warm the soup. Once noodles are cooked, add to soup and enjoy.
