Turkey soup & Homemade Noodles

I am standing here cutting noodles for turkey soup tonight. They are rather thick substantial noodles. I'm thinking boil them in salted water, then when cooked add to the soup. My reason is that they might absorb too much stock and/or make my stock too cloudy. We don't eat a lot of carby thing so I don't make them as often as I used to. I even had to look at a recipe to get my proportions right.

    I wish I could have some of your soup! It sounds wonderful.

      I have added fresh noodles directly to the soup in the past (see below):

      But, I think I'll blanch mine in a 'salt water bath' before adding them next time, just to make sure there's no cloudy residue.

        Not sure about your method, but my grandmother used to roll out four for Chicken and Dumplings and they were cloudy but quite delicious. The Turkey Soup sounds great! Happy Thanksgiving
