We really enjoyed the rich brothy taste of this soup. Perfect for left over chicken or turkey. I added a handful of chopped celery tops for some additional taste. I also enjoyed the addition of Sage. along with some personal spice favorites. Next time i’ll add some spinach for more nutrition and to add some brightness to the soup. II will add this one too my soup Rotation.VFE.

A light , brothy soup accented with a nice rich taste. One perfect , healthy choice for left overs. I added a handful of chopped celery tops along with the ribs.. Love the addition of the Sage. Nice alternative to poultry seasoning.. Next time i’ll add a handful of spinach just to add extra iron and to put a pop of color into the soup.

I have made this soup after Thanksgiving every time I was the hostess and had the leftovers--about 7-8 times! It's a fabulous concoction of all things good and good for you! I DO make the homemade broth from the carcass the day before I serve this soup and I love the flavors that the sage, bay leaves, and cloves add to the broth.

I have made this simple recipe over and over again since I found it in one of the magazines many years ago. We all love it
