Tanya's Turkey (or Chicken) Soup

This soup is super easy to make and yummy to eat!
It's hearty and satisfying.
The first time I ever had it the turkey wasn't even in it...and it was still good!
So good, in fact, that I requested the recipe.
I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

1 cup soup noodles ~ I use small shell pasta

Method:

Put all ingredients into large pot (except the soup noodles) and bring to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for two to three hours, stirring occasionally ~

Add soup noodles for the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
