Prep a big batch of this soup at the beginning of the week, and you'll have a delicious soup that's perfect for those cold, winter days!

Ingredients

3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
2 Carrots peeled and chopped
2 Stalks Celery chopped
1 Medium Yellow Onion chopped
2 Leeks chopped; use the whites and light green parts only
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1 Teaspoon Black Pepper
3 Cloves Garlic minced
8 Cups Turkey Stock or substitute chicken stock
1 Lemon juiced
1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
2 Bay Leaves
1 12 Oz. Package Egg Noodles
2 Cups Pre-Cooked Turkey shredded or cubed

Instructions

Start by heating a large pot, on the stove, over medium heat and add in your olive oil, chopped carrots, chopped celery, chopped onion, and chopped leek.
Cook your vegetables until they're tender and soft, about 5-6 minutes. Then, season them generously with sea salt and black pepper.
Add the garlic and Italian seasoning to the pot, mixing well.
Next, add in the turkey (or chicken) stock, lemon juice, and bay leaves, stirring for one more minute. Then, add in the noodles.
Cook the soup for about 7 minutes, until the noodles have fully softened.
Finally, remove the bay leaves, adding the turkey, and cook for about 4-5 more minutes, or until the turkey is warm.
Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed, then serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container, in the fridge, for up to one week.
