My daughter got this recipe from her husband's mother. As in many households, our turkey gets picked over for a few days after the holidays. When the carcass is almost clean, it's time to make soup! This soup is especially good on cold winter nights when it's snowing...which happens a lot where I live!

This was a great winter meal. Never thought I would get all of that meat from the carcass.And to think before I would just pitch it in the garbage can.

I left out the onion powder and used carrot chips instead of grated carrots. I also added some dried parsley and a little chicken soup base to make sure the flavor was a little stronger. I followed the rest of the recipe just as it is, and it was delicious! My boys loved it. I will make this every time I have a turkey.

Why do you add chicken broth? When I make homemade soup I use the turkey broth only. Other than that the recipe sounds great.

the addition of "serving Size", one cup, 2 oz. etc. to the nutrition info would be very helpful. Thx
