Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

80 oz chicken broth
1/2 c onion, chopped
1 box rice, long-grain/wild rice blend
1 pkg reames frozen homestyle egg noodles
1/3 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp poultry seasoning
2 c half and half
2 c turkey, cooked and diced
1/2 c green onion, chopped (optional)

Steps:

1. In a large Dutch oven, combine 9 cups of chicken broth and chopped onion. Bring to a boil.
2. Add rice and seasoning packet ( I like ZATARAIN'S) and Reames Frozen Homestyle noodles; return to boiling. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 20 minutes.
3. In a small bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper and poultry seasoning. Sometimes I substitute Tony Chachere's seasoning for poultry seasoning. Just a little kick! Either way its great. Whisk in remaining cup of broth until smooth.
4. Remove soup from burner and slowly add flour / broth mixture to soup, stirring constantly. Bring to a boil; cook about 3 minutes or until thickened and bubbly.
5. Slowly add half and half to cooked soup; stirring constantly. Add turkey; heat through.
6. (Optional) Stir in green onion before serving.
