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. This soup is especially good on cold winter nights when it's snowing...which happens a lot where I live! —Carol Brethauer, Denver, Colorado

Ingredients

1 leftover turkey carcass (from a 14-pound turkey)
3 quarts water
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup uncooked long grain rice
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 celery ribs, finely chopped
2 medium carrots, grated
1 bay leaf
Dash poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Salt, optional

Directions

In a stockpot, place turkey carcass, water and broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 4-5 hours.
Remove carcass from stock. Remove any meat; dice. Return to stock along with rice, onion, celery, carrots, bay leaf and poultry seasoning. Add remaining seasonings to taste. Cover; simmer over medium-low heat until rice is cooked. Discard bay leaf.
