Melt the butter in a large pot. Add the onions, carrots, and celery. Saute for 4-5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and saute for 1 minute.
Add the chicken broth and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and cook until the carrots are tender.
Discard the bay leaves, add the diced turkey and return the soup to a boil.
Stir in the cooked egg noodles, cover, and return the soup to a boil. Remove from heat.
Season with black pepper and garnish with parsley.

Notes
Storage
Store cooled soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat the leftovers in the microwave or on the stovetop. If you want to freeze the leftovers, you can, but for the best results, you’ll want to freeze it without the noodles and wait to add them until after you reheat it.
