Method

  1. In a stock pot, combine chicken stock, summer savory, basil, thyme, chipotle powder, salt, black pepper, parsley, and sherry. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  2. Add carrots to the pot, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook until the carrots are tender, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.

  3. In a skillet, melt butter and cook celery, onion, and garlic in the hot butter until the onions are translucent, approximately 5 minutes. Stir this mixture into the stock mixture.

  4. Add turkey to the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let the soup simmer for about 30 minutes, allowing the turkey to heat and flavor the soup.

  5. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook them, stirring occasionally, until they are cooked through but still firm to the bite, which typically takes about 5 minutes. Drain the noodles and add them to the soup.

  6. Season the soup with salt and black pepper as desired, and it is ready to serve.
