Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Turkey Broth

Place the leftover turkey bones into a large stockpot and cover completely with water. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat and cover with a lid. Simmer gently for 3–4 hours to extract maximum flavor. For a richer broth, add bouillon to taste while simmering.

Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables and Noodles

While the broth simmers, dice the onion and slice the carrots and celery. Set the vegetables aside. Thaw the egg noodles at room temperature for 30–60 minutes so they cook evenly later.

Step 3: Strain the Broth

Once the broth is finished simmering, carefully strain the liquid into a clean pot, removing all bones. Strain a second time if needed to ensure no small bones remain. Pick off any usable turkey meat from the bones and set aside, then discard the remaining bones.

Step 4: Build the Soup Base

Return the strained broth to the stove and bring it to a boil. Add the carrots, celery, onion, and Philosopher’s Potion. Stir well and boil for 30–45 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.

Step 5: Add Noodles and Turkey

Add the thawed egg noodles to the pot and cook for an additional 30–45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Add the shredded turkey meat and stir to combine.

Step 6: Taste and Serve

Taste the soup and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy.
