Instructions

  • Press sauté, add oil, sauté onion (2-3 minutes). Add celery and carrot, sauté for 2 more minutes.
  • Add stock and all the seasonings.
  • Put lid on, select high pressure, and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Let pressure release naturally for 5–10 minutes, then quick release.
  • Turn to sauté, add turkey and pasta. Simmer until al dente, 5–10 minutes.
  • Turn off, remove bay leaves, season to taste, serve.

Notes

  • Instant Pot: Using an instant pot is really simple, and it makes the soup more flavorful
  • Pressure Cooker: If you prefer to not use the pressure cooker step of this recipe, put the ingredients on the stove top and cook for 15 minutes and then add the pasta
  • Slow Cooker: If you would like to use the slow cooker, just put all the ingredients in except the pasta. Cook on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours, or until carrots are tender. Add pasta and cook 10–20 minutes longer on high until pasta is al dente.
  • Noodles: If you want to serve the noodles on the side, just use only 4 cups of stock in the soup and cook the noodles separately
  • Leftovers: If you have leftover soup, you can refrigerate it in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days if it is stored properly. Simply reheat when you are ready to finish this delicious soup.
