Turkey Soup on the Stove

I am off to start a pot of turkey soup. We had turkey for Christmas and I always make soup from the leftover turkey and the carcass.
Gonna smell so good in here in short order. I love the smell of soup simmering on the stove. Today is a good day for it too. Snowing at a good clip now.
Do you make homemade turkey soup? If so, do you simmer the carcass for hours or just use broth and vegetables? Rice or noodles?

I've never had turkey soup but I sure enjoy chicken soup so I think it'll be just as good (if not even better)!

@infatuatedbby my husband likes egg noodles in the soup. In a pinch I break up spaghetti into smaller pieces and add that at the end of cooking the soup.

@ElusiveButterfly I bet it is! :) What kind of noodles do you put in the soup?

I have to wait for it to cool down so I can remove the remaining smaller bones. Even though I try to get all of the bones out, there are some that remain.

I've used noodles or rice in mine. My preference is noodles though. Or, just with extra vegetables.

I also use the chicken carcass to boil down to flavor the broth. Not to mention how much nutrition you get from it too.

@DianneN it will be worth the wait. I didn't even have supper tonight. I picked my way through the process of preparing the soup and tonight's meal. I am stuffed.

That made me laugh! I did give a lot of the leftovers to my kids too. But, I love to make soup and can't wait to have a bowl tomorrow night.

@ElusiveButterfly I can smell it all the way down here. Too bad you have to wait to have it.

Yes. I have a lot of turkey leftover so I'll have enough to last at least a week. I did promise one of my friends a bowl of it.
