Gingery Turkey Noodle Soup
Back to Blog List

This also comes from the WW weekly.  It will be my last entry until I am good enough to cook again.  I was supposed to eat light and nothing after midnight.  One of my painting partners told me about a site here in Nashville that delivers dinners to your doorstep and is all organic and good.  So tonight I ordered three dinner.  They will be delivered Monday.  If I get out Saturday or Sunday, I have ingredients her for 2 meals that I bought ingredients for and are in the freezer.  My hairdresser also gave me an app to deliver anything and she says that the charge is from $3-$5 tops.  So we can do either for Saturday or Sunday.  Tonights dinner I believe fit the bill for a light non heavy spiced meal.  If was not an Instant Pot recipe, but I turned it into one.  

Ingredients:

4 t EVOO

1/2# turkey breast cutlets, cut into 1/2” pieces

1/4 t black pepper

2 leeks, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced white and light green parts only

2 large carrots, thinly sliced

2 thin celery stalks, thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 t grated peeled fresh ginger

6 C chicken broth

1 1/2 C wide egg noodles

2 T chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Salt to taste (I used 1 t.)

Directions:

  1. Place the oil in the Pot and turn on sauté.  Add all the vegetables including the parsley, cloves, and ginger.  Sauté until softened.  
  2. Add the turkey breast and broth.  Close the lid and put it in Soup for 6 minutes.  Let it loose steam naturally.  Mine after 20 minutes, mine still had to be vented manually.  I believe it depends on the quaint inside for the natural venting.  
  3. Add the noodles and turn on sauté for 6-8 minutes.  

This worked perfectly.  It was a very tasty dinner.  Many recipes I read said the only way to make great soup is to make your own broth, which I do.  In fact I made broth last night to do this soup.  I froze instead of canning as I am running out of time.  Either works.  Wish me luck for a speedy recovery.  Not looking forward to the next few weeks.
