Aunt Janice's Turkey Soup

We have never actually had this recipe before as a family. My aunt used to make this recipe all of the time with the extra turkey from Thanksgiving dinner but now she is getting older she does not do it anymore. She gave us this recipe so that we can make if we would like to on our own. It will be a great recipe to have with our family history.

Turkey carcass or leftovers

Onion

Celery

Carrots (optional)

Garlic salt

Salt

Parmesan cheese

Parsley


Put the carcass in a pot, cover it with water, and boil until whatever meat is on it falls off. Then take the carcass out and toss.


Meanwhile I chop up onion, celery (including the light, less bitter leaves), (and carrots if you want) and throw them in.


Also add garlic salt, regular salt, Parmesan cheese (quite a bit) and parsley leaves if you want--all this to taste depending on how much water, etc. When the soup tastes the way I want it, I call it done. Then separately I cook pasta of some sort (little shell macaroni ), put them in a soup bowl and add the soup.
