1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss all the vegetables except the celery with the olive oil and place on one or more sheet pans in a single layer. Roast in hot oven until vegetables are just brown.

2. Bring the turkey stock to a simmer in a soup pot. Add the celery and shell beans if using, roasted vegetables, and herbs. Return to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for a half-hour to 45 minutes until vegetables are soft. Add salt to taste.

3. In a small saucepan, bring a quart of water to a boil, add ½ teaspoon salt. Add noodles and stir. Reduce heat and cook until the noodles are barely soft, 3-5 minutes. Drain. Add noodles to the turkey soup. Grind in fresh black pepper. Taste and adjust salt. If desired, add fresh chopped parsley, dill, or chives before serving.
