This great thing about this low calorie turkey noodle soup recipe is that almost all the ingredients can be adjusted to suit your personal taste. If you desire a more brothy soup, add more water. If you desire a richer broth - add more bouillon and so forth. In addition, fresh carrots that have been thinly sliced can also be used but they need to be ultra thin so that they cook in conjunction with the noodles. A dash of dried basil also adds a bit of jazz.
This recipe is delicious when served with cornbread. To keep cornbread calories low, use skim milk and melted light margarine in place of oil and/or regular margarine. Egg substitute can also save a few more calories.
