noodles

🥗Healthier: whole grain noodles

💰Cheaper: egg noodles

Whole grain noodles offer more fiber; egg noodles are often cheaper.

Start by preparing the stock with a 3 to 4 lb whole organic chicken and 3 lbs of smoked turkey wings.

Add 3 stalks of celery with leaves, 2 carrots with greens, 1 medium small red onion, 1 turnip, 1 clove of garlic, 2 small stalks of lemongrass, and 1 knob of ginger to a large stock pot.

Crush the ginger and garlic before adding them to the pot.

Add the stems of shiitake mushrooms to the pot for flavor.

Cover the ingredients with water and place the pot on high heat to bring to a boil.

Once it starts to bubble, reduce the heat to a simmer and let it cook slowly.

While the stock is simmering, peel and chop 2 carrots and add the peels to the stock pot.

Wash and prepare the celery, saving some leaves for later use.

Chop the carrots into 1/4 inch pieces for the finished soup.
