(or Turkey Noodle Soup)
If you use leftover cooked chicken (or turkey) and broth from our roast chicken or roast turkey recipes, this is an easy, low sodium soup recipe.
- ½ cup cooked chicken, chopped (or ½ cup cooked turkey, chopped)
- 8 cups chicken broth (or 8 cups turkey broth)
- 2 tsp Canola oil
- ¾ cup onion, chopped
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 1 Tbsp leaf marjoram (not ground)
- ¾ cup frozen peas
- ¾ cup sliced baby carrots
- ¾ cup chopped celery
- 8 oz egg noodles, uncooked (I used No Yolks brand — no cholesterol)
- ¼ tsp Mrs Dash Chicken Grilling seasoning
- ½ tsp Mrs Dash Garlic Herb seasoning
- Heat a large heavy pan to medium high. Add Canola oil.
- Add onions, celery, and carrots and sauté about 4 minutes, until onions are tender.
- If using fresh garlic, add minced garlic and sauté for a few seconds.
- Add all remaining ingredients except egg noodles and chicken (or turkey), and bring to a boil.
- Add egg noodles and cook until noodles and peas are done, adding the chicken or turkey the last minute or two.
Our estimates assume you used chicken (or turkey) and broth from our low-sodium roast chicken or roast turkey recipe, or you cooked fresh poultry with only 3% sodium per serving (instead of chicken or turkey that has been infused with a high-sodium broth).
Note that sodium percentages depend on which daily reference you use. The estimated 45 mg of sodium per serving implies that one serving of this recipe provides:
– 2% of the U.S. FDA daily reference value for sodium for a 2,000-calorie diet that includes 2,400 mg sodium, or
– 3% of the American Heart Association recommendation of 1,500 mg sodium per day, or
– 5% of the Ménière’s diet recommendation of 1,000 mg sodium per day.
