Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
  1. In a Dutch oven or soup pot, melt the duck fat over medium heat
  2. Toss in the carrots, celery and onion and cook for 5 minutes until vegetables are soft
  3. Add the turkey, garlic, thyme, marjoram and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring to get everything nice and coated with the herbs
  4. Pour in the broth, salt and bring it all to a boil
  5. Stir in the egg noodles, reduce heat to medium-low and let cook for 15 minutes
  6. Taste for seasoning and add salt to taste
  7. Top with a few chopped celery leaves and a crack or two of black pepper
Notes
This recipe can be easily doubled or tripled to feed 8 to 12 people as needed
