Variations
Chicken: Swap turkey with leftover chicken and chicken stock. You can also use the bones from a rotisserie chicken to make stock. Time Saver: If you don’t have time to make homemade stock, use low-sodium canned turkey or chicken stock or broth. Pasta: Use whatever types of noodles you have. Rotini and elbow macaroni would work. Herbs: Add fresh thyme, rosemary, or chives.
What to Serve with Turkey Noodle Soup
This easy turkey soup would be delicious with biscuits or crackers or a salad. If you’re not making the soup right away, refrigerate the stock. Then, remove the fat from the top. You can use this turkey stock recipe as a base swapping the turkey wings for leftover turkey.
How long is soup made with leftover turkey good for?
Leftover turkey lasts for up to four days. So, I’d recommend making this soup a day or two after Thanksgiving, so the soup is still good for at least a day.
Can you freeze turkey noodle soup?
Turkey noodle soup also freezes well, so if you have extra, freeze it in small containers for up to three months. You can either thaw it in the fridge overnight or microwave it straight from frozen.
Do egg noodles soak up soup?
Yes, noodles soak up the broth as they sit in the liquid. To reheat the soup, you may need to add a little extra water or stock.
