Clean Eating Turkey Noodle Soup

I hosted my very first Easter dinner this year, including a 12 lb turkey. 12 lbs was a little much for the 6 people having dinner however, so needless to say I had A LOT of turkey left over. Mike and I have been eating turkey almost every day since Saturday, and finally it was time to make some soup. I have never made a chicken/turkey noodle soup, so I wasn't sure how it would turn out. It was yummy!
I didn't make this one from a recipe I found...I just threw it together, so here is what was in the pot (I probably made enough for around 8 bowls of soup):

-4 cups low sodium organic chicken stock
-1 cup turkey drippings (I saved these from the pan when I made the turkey and it was basically just water and spices)
-3 cups water
-1 tbsp oregano
-1 tbsp basil
-1/2 tbsp bay leaves
-2 cups cooked whole wheat pasta (I had macaroni in my cupboard)
-3 large carrots chopped
-3 celery stalks chopped
-1 small onion chopped
-2-3 cups cooked turkey chopped

1. Bring the stock, drippings, and water to a boil
2. Add in veggies and spices, cook for about 8 mins
3. Cook pasta in separate pot
4. Add cooked pasta and cooked turkey into soup
5. Simmer for another 5 mins or so


Enjoy!
