What can I add to this soup?

How to store soup

Soup with meat should only be stored in the fridge for 4 days at the most. If the leftovers won't be eaten right away, you should freeze them. I double up on zipper freezer bags just to be sure they don't leak.

Let the soup fully cool, then pour into a bag using a no-hands storage holder (they're so helpful!). Then you can store it in the freezer up to 3 months.

To reheat frozen soup, thaw it in the refrigerator first. Heat using a microwave or on the stovetop.

Do I have to use fresh turkey?

This can easily be a leftover turkey noodle soup crock pot recipe. Use shredded or diced cooked turkey (such as Thanksgiving leftovers) in place of the fresh turkey we show here.

With the turkey already cooked, you'll just need to cook the soup long enough to soften the vegetables. So it's still a 4-6 hour slow cooker recipe.

What do bay leaves do?

Bay leaves are a wonderfully flavorful addition to many dishes. To use bay leaves, simply add 2-3 to whatever recipe you’re making.

They are typically added with other ingredients when cooking. Just remember to discard bay leaves before eating as they are too tough and can be inedible.

How to make this easy slow cooker soup

Add everything to your slow cooker except for the noodles.

Cover the slow cooker and set on Low for 6 hours or High for 4 hours.

When the time is up, remove your turkey breast, and transfer to a cutting board where you can shred it. Add turkey meat back to the slow cooker.

Add in the egg noodles while your soup is still hot. Stir in, and allow the noodles to cook for about 15 minutes.

After the 15 minutes, or when noodles are al dente (soft enough for you), the soup is ready.

Discard the bay leaves before serving.

Enjoy your crock pot soup with turkey and noodles! Soup bowls with handles are great for kids, whether you're eating soup or chili.
