Turkey Noodle Soup Recipe
6 Servings
———————————–STOCK———————————–
1 All bones from roast turkey
7 c Water
1 Bay leaf;
1 Stalk celery; chopped
1 Onion; quartered
————————————SOUP————————————
1/4 c Broken noodles; 1/2″ pieces
1 Celery; Stack \& leaves, chop
1 Carrot; chopped
3 Green onions; sliced
1/3 c Zucchini; grated
1 ts Dried basil;
1 ts Dried thyme;
1 ds Hot pepper sauce;
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper
My note: Remove bones from turkey or chicken before serving and refrigerate
or freeze until you have time to prepare the soup. I like to do it the next
day, if possible, and make a batch of crackers while the soup is cooking.
STOCK: In stockpot or large saucepan, combine bones, water, bay leaf,
celery and onion. (Skin and drippings may be included, if desired.) Simmer,
covered about 4 hours. Strain, reserving stock. Let bones cool, pick out
any meat and add to the stock.
SOUP: In stockpot or saucepan, bring stock to boil; add noodles and simmer
for 5 minutes. Add celery, carrot, green onions, zucchini, basil and thyme.
Simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in hot pepper sauce, season with salt and
pepper to taste. Makes about 4 1/2 cups.

It just got cold here in GA so soup is on the menu for sure. This soup recipe sounds like it is going to be the first one this year to hit my soup pot.
