- 2 stalk celery, sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 8 cups turkey or chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2-3 sprigs fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 8 ounces wide egg noodles

- Cook on high 3 hours or low 6 hours.
- Add egg noodles to the slow cooker and cook for 15 minutes on high or until noodles are al dente.
Notes
Don’t overcook the noodles, if you leave them too long they absorb too much liquid and will get mushy.
You can use chicken broth or store-bought or homemade turkey broth for this recipe. You can also substitute vegetable broth if needed. Depending on the broth you use, you may want to adjust the seasoning with different spices for a deeper flavor. Homemade broth usually has a more complex flavor profile while store-bought broths tend to have more salt. If your broth seems bland try adding bay leaves, fresh garlic, or poultry seasoning to add additional flavor.
If you have leftover baby carrots from your Thanksgiving appetizers, this is a great way to use them!
