  • 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 15 ml.

Equipment

  • 1 large pot or Dutch oven
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Pour in the chicken or turkey broth and add the bay leaf and dried thyme. Bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Add the egg noodles and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the noodles are tender.
  6. Stir in the cooked turkey and simmer for another 3-4 minutes, until the turkey is heated through.
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove the bay leaf.
  8. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

You can substitute rotisserie chicken for turkey, if desired.
For a richer flavor, add a splash of lemon juice or a pinch of dried sage.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; the noodles may soak up extra broth over time, so add more if needed when reheating.
