Ok, I've been a good doobie!

I have started my Turkey Soup.

1 Turkey Carcass - left over from Thanksgiving Dinner
4 Medium Onions
5 Carrots with the leaves
1 Bunch of Celery with the leaves
1 Large bunch of parsley
3 Cans of Chicken Stock
Then filled the pan to the top with cold water to cover ingredients
Put on stove on medium heat and let the flavors meld. All day....

Then I will let it cool a bit, and drain the stock, remove all bones, add back in the turkey meat, celery and carrots.
 
Yuuuuuuummmmmmy!

Especially served with a soft bread with a hard crust.

PS always boil up some Orzo's, and keep them separate from the stock so they don't soak up all the soup, then add as many as I would like to my single serving. Plus maybe add in some grated parmesan cheese!!

2. The soup is the reason I love to make a Turkey Dinner.

It's my favorite part.

And really it is so easy, all the hard work was done the day before!!

Good luck with yours and enjoy!

3. I will also say this...

I need a freezer stash of soup...I'm all out.

I like to take soup to work with me, so what I do every so often is make soup...then put it in wide mouth Mason Jars and freeze it. Of course, I let it cool a lot before jarring, allowing freezing space and then putting it into the freezer.
 
The frozen soup also acts like a freezer block in my food bag (most of my work "duty periods" are around 12-14 hours)...I just need to remember to take it out to begin thawing, then VERY slowly begin heating (I take off the lid and ring, replacing with foil/wax/plastic or parchment).
 
Usually, I like to have about 6 jars in the freezer but might end up with more since we have SO much of the turkey left.

4. I'll do mine Saturday too

the bulk of the meat will go in sandwiches for the next few days, leftover bits and carcass for soup.
 
ummm soup...

Not entirely sure why, but I read soup as soap - I was utterly bemused both by making soap out of turkey and by DUmmies wanting soap.

.....all that and then all the dog.....or, with all those leaves, the cow.
