Bird to the Last Drop

Debble

Of course I made a few changes so I accept anyone saying it’s not really Alton’s recipe anymore but here goes: I wanted to make this as close as possible to a standard chicken noodle (or rice) soup except using my left over turkey. <br />- definitely remove the carcass bones before adding vegetables, makes it much easier<br />- rather than frozen mixed vegetables (peas carrots corn green beans), I prefer to add soup vegetables: onion, carrots, celery. You can buy frozen soup vegetables or mirepoix for convenience or chop your own. I prefer heavy on onions. Adding peas is fine but optional. <br />- reduce the thyme as suggested. <br />- Old Bay is fine and already has salt. If you add more salt use small increments and taste. Add about 1/4 tsp. Pepper and taste. If you have it, add 1/2 tsp turmeric. My favorite chicken soup recipe uses it. <br />- add noodles or rice only 15-20 minutes before the end before serving
