FAQs

Can I use uncooked turkey in this soup?
Yes, but ensure it’s fully cooked before serving. Use a meat thermometer to confirm it reaches 165°F.

Why are my noodles mushy?
Adding them too early can cause overcooking. Add them during the last 30 minutes only.

Can I make this on LOW instead of HIGH?
Yes, cook for 6–7 hours on LOW, adding noodles during the last 30–40 minutes.

How do I thicken the soup?
Add a cornstarch slurry (1 tbsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water) or mash some of the vegetables into the broth.
