Ham and Turkey Noodle Soup

Submitted by dk683

"I came up with this recipe while staying at my Aunt and Uncle's house in Dublin, Ireland over the Holidays. This is great, warming, flavorful usage for all those Christmas leftovers. You just take whatever Christmas meats you have left over and warm them up in some broth with noodles. In this recipe, I am using ham and turkey, but you could easily substitute with sirloin, duck, goose, whatever. The measurements for this are just a guess, so bung in whatever amounts you feel are reasonable."
