Creamy Turkey Noodle Soup

20 min8 servings

I was honored when my fireman son-in-law asked to add this recipe to their firehouse cookbook. You can prepare parts of this turkey soup ahead of time and then assemble when ready. Serve with crispy whole-grain crackers. —Carol Perkins, Washington, Missouri

Ingredients

1/3 cup butter, cubed

1 medium carrot, shredded

1 celery rib, finely chopped

1/3 cup all-purpose flour

1 carton (32 ounces) chicken broth

1/2 cup half-and-half cream

1/2 cup 2% milk

1 cup uncooked kluski or other egg noodles

2 cups cubed cooked turkey

1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

1 In a large saucepan, heat butter over medium-high heat; saute carrot and celery until tender, 3-5 minutes. Stir in flour until blended; gradually add broth, cream and milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir until thickened, 1-2 minutes.

2 Stir in noodles. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, until noodles are al dente, 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add remaining ingredients; cook and stir until turkey is heated through and cheese is melted.
