Method
Place a turkey1 leg in a pot, cover with 600 ml water, and bring to a boil.
Skim off foam, add a whole halved onion5, a bay leaf, and simmer for 35 minutes on low heat.
Remove the turkey1 leg, shred the meat from the bone, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
Strain the broth back into the pot, then add diced carrots3, celery4, and the remaining onion5.
Simmer the vegetables for 10 minutes until nearly tender.
Add the noodles and turkey1 meat, cooking for 8–10 minutes until the noodles are done.
Season with salt and pepper, stir in fresh dill7, and let the soup rest covered for 5 minutes.
Tips
- Why it works
- Bring the broth to a boil and skim the foam right away so it doesn't turn cloudy. The foam gives the soup a bitter taste and clouds it with proteins.
- Substitutions
- Replace the celery with the same amount of parsley. Parsley gives a brighter flavor but doesn't change the texture. You can leave the onion whole or chop it, it doesn't matter much.
- Common mistakes
- If the noodles stay hard, they were cooked over too high a heat or not long enough. Check by tasting a piece.
- Storing and reheating
- Keeps for 3 days in the fridge. Reheat over medium heat with a lid, adding 20 ml of water so it doesn't stick.
- Serve with
- Serve with thin slices of rye bread fried in butter. The bread soaks up the broth and adds crunch.
