Serves: 4
- 1 quart chicken broth
- 1 cup turkey breast, cut into ½-inch cubes (use whole breast meat, not shaved cold cuts)
- 1 cup egg noodles
- 1 tablespoon duck fat (or butter or olive oil)
- 1 onion (yellow or white), diced
- 2 celery stalks, diced (reserve celery leaves to top soup)
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed fine (I like to grind it using a mortar and pestle - it makes it nicer to eat and helps build the triceps!)
- 1 teaspoon dried marjoram
- ½ teaspoon salt
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
- In a Dutch oven or soup pot, melt the duck fat over medium heat
- Toss in the carrots, celery and onion and cook for 5 minutes until vegetables are soft
- Add the turkey, garlic, thyme, marjoram and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring to get everything nice and coated with the herbs
- Pour in the broth, salt and bring it all to a boil
- Stir in the egg noodles, reduce heat to medium-low and let cook for 15 minutes
- Taste for seasoning and add salt to taste
- Top with a few chopped celery leaves and a crack or two of black pepper
This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to feed 8 to 12 people as needed
