This is one of my favorite soup recipes. Whenever I roast a turkey or chicken, I make a base by simmering all the remains in water with onion and garlic and maybe bay leaf in a large stockpot. Then I remove all the meat from the bones, and make three different soups out of the base; an oriental version (this one), a mexican version (I used green chilies, mexican tomatoes, cilantro, black beans, etc.) and a vegetable and noodle or vegetable and potato version. This way I use up every bit of the poultry and have three very tasty versions of soup for the freezer.
