Simmering up a big pot of this soup is one of my favorite holiday traditions. This is a variation on a recipe my mom made while I was growing up. My husband and children can't get enough of the tender dumplings.

Ingredients

1 meaty leftover turkey carcass (from an 11-pound turkey)
6 cups chicken broth
6 cups water
2 celery ribs, cut into 1-inch slices
1 medium carrot, cut into 1-inch slices
1 tablespoon poultry seasoning
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt

I'm not overly fond of turkey, but loved this soup when I wanted to use up the turkey frame from Thanksgiving. I didn't have enough biscuit mix, so used a homemade recipe for the dumplings. They were nestled amidst the vegetables and bubbling gravy and looked so yummy. Later I cooked a whole chicken and made this recipe again......delicious!
