ingredients

• 2 onions, halved
• 4 cloves
• 3 celery ribs, chopped coarsely
• 3 sprigs fresh parsley
• 2 carrots, chopped coarsely
• 2 bay leaves
• 3 garlic cloves, smashed
• 2 chicken bouillon cubes

• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried rosemary or 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried thyme or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried basil or 1 tablespoon fresh basil
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried sage or 1 tablespoon fresh sage
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried savory or 1 tablespoon fresh savory
• 1⁄2 teaspoon celery seed
• 1 tablespoon vinegar
• 3 1⁄2 - 4 quarts water
• 1 turkey carcass

• After removing everything from the broth

• 2 cups minced turkey
• 2 leeks, chopped
• 1 -2 stalk celery
• 2 carrots
• 1 cup frozen green beans
• 0.5 (12 ounce) bag egg noodles

directions

1. Add all the ingredients down to the carcass. Cook broth 2-3 hours. Strain and toss the veggies.
2. Saute the leeks, celery and carrots in 1 T butter until lightly cooked. Add 1-2 cup chopped turkey, veggies and noodles to soup (personally, I cook the noodles separately because it makes more than we use the 1st time, and we don't like soggy noodles - so we add them to each bowl). Cook 12-15 minutes and serve.
