Serve Turkey Soup as a clear broth or add some cooked noodles, rice, or barley. It can also be used as a base in many vegetables soups.
Ingredients: - 1 Turkey carcass plus giblets if available - 8 cups of water - 1 onion, sliced - 1 carrot, sliced - 2 stalks of celery, cut up - 6 crushed peppercorns - salt
Break the turkey carcass into pieces and put them in a soup pot with any small pieces of turkey meat and giblets that you can spare. Add the water, onion, carrot, celery and peppercorns. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover partially, and simmer for 3 or 4 hours. Strain the broth and cool it quickly, uncovered. Chill it and remove the fat when it solidifies, or scoop any fat off the surface with a spoon. Add salt to taste before serving.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the straining part is something I do, but the recipe doesn't call for it. Personally I don't like some of the goopy stuff, so I toss out all but the broth, and only put the white meat into the soup at the end.
