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.
