After Thanksgiving Turkey Soup
What to do with all that leftover turkey? Make homemade soup! It’s a great meal for lunch or dinner or it can be frozen and served when you are once again craving turkey.
After carving the Thanksgiving or Holiday turkey, throw the carcass into a big soup pot along with some chopped carrots, celery, bits of left over dressing and even a bit of left over gravy. Add two containers of vegan vegetable broth. Cover with a lid and let pot come to a boil and then turn on low and let cook for 30 to 40 minutes. Let stock cool. Then remove the bones and skin using a large slotted spoon. Discard bones and skin. Set cooled broth in the fridge and leave overnight. The next day, use the same slotted spoon to skim the surface to remove excess fat from the surface of the soup. Add more vegetables if needed. If you prefer noodles in your soup, add 1 cup of macaroni or spiral noodles, (egg-free, gluten free or noodles of your choice) and place the soup pot back on stove element and cook for another 20 to 25 minutes or until pasta is cooked.
