Homemade turkey noodle soup

I’m always trying to find healthy recipes suitable for the whole family to eat, and as we are trying to be healthy and save money this month I thought I’d make some soup using the leftover turkey from our Sunday roast last week.

Ingredients

For the stock

• 1 Onion
• 1 Carrot
• 1 stick of Celery
• Bouquet garni
• Bay leaf

For the soup

• left over turkey pieces
• one serving of noodles – cooked
• half a red chilli chopped
• parsley
• 1 onion finely chopped
• I carrot finely chopped

Instructions

• Pull the leftover meat from the turkey, and put to one side.
• Add a knob of butter to a large pan and brown a small onion, chopped carrot and celery.
• Add the remains of the turkey, bouquet garni, bay leaf and cover with water. Leave to simmer for 2 hours.
• Sieve the mixture and keep the stock to one side.
• Brown another onion and carrot in a large pan, and add half a chopped chilli.

• Add the stock, noodles and leftover turkey pieces, simmer for about 20 minutes.
• Serve with parsley.

Z loved helping me make this, and enjoyed eating it even more.
