In reply to Steve. That sounds incredibly delicious! Using a smoked turkey carcass must add such a rich, unique flavor to the soup.

I make a similar version of this soup every year but without the bouillon or vegeta so Joanne is right, use water, not stock. The thing that gives it an extra flavor punch for me is that I smoke the turkey on Thanksgiving day and make the soup using the smoked carcass. If you have the equipment to do that, I highly suggest doing it that way. It’s Amazing! You can even make smoked gravy if you put a pan under the turkey in the smoker too. Outstanding!

Excellent! So rich and flavorful. Used Ditalini since I didn’t have noodles. Only drawback, carrots too soft since they had been simmering for 1-1/2 hrs.

In reply to Suzanna. I usually do the same with the celery, but I'm not a huge fan, so sometimes I skip it. :)

I’m so with you on the Vegeta. I’ve used it to replace salt in many if the meals I make. I find that it add tons of extra flavour so you use less of it, and subsequently less sodium. By the way, I make my soup exactly as you write it. So, although I can’t comment on Jo’s recipe, I can to mine, which is the same 🙂 and is wonderful. One difference, I also cut up the celery and add it back. I love celery cooked soft and soggy.

In reply to Peggy Ragnoli. That says 1.5 hours not 15. There's a period in between.

Do you cook the carcass for 15 hours or was that a typo?
