Here is a great soup to make, using up leftover turkey. When you are tired after all the holidays and still feeling full from all the overindulging, try this Easy Light Turkey Noodle Soup. It will still fill you with that comforting feeling without all the calories again from the noodles. We love using Tofu Shirataki noodles in our dishes. They add the best flavor with few calories and really stand up with a great texture in a soup, casserole, or salad.
This soup is not only light but very simple to make. I love making a simple soup at dinner time. You can sit back and relax for a bit while the broth simmers and the flavors meld. At the end just add the noodles and turkey. The noodles only require a rinse and quick boil and they are ready to be used just like any other noodle.
My family loved this soup so much and I loved that it was so easy!! Scrumptious flavors from thyme and sage mingle with the carrots, celery, onion, turkey and noodles. It really is a big bowl of comfort.
When I say very few calories I mean it, 10 per serving. Plus they are gluten free, vegan and have no cholesterol. They are also super versatile, just as any noodle is. So lighten up after the holidays and try these wonderfully delicious noodles!!
