Time 2h50m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 turkey carcass, cooked
4 (14 ounce) cans low-sodium chicken broth
1 onion, quartered
1 stalk celery, cut into 2 inch pieces
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 cups chopped cooked turkey breast
1 (16 ounce) package frozen mixed vegetables
1 cup uncooked white rice
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Place the turkey carcass in a large stockpot with a lid. Pour the chicken broth over the turkey to mostly cover. Drop in the onion, celery, and garlic. Bring to a boil over medium heat, cover, and simmer for 2 hours, turning the carcass occasionally.
  • Remove the carcass from the stock and set aside to cool. Remove the onion, celery and garlic from the stock and drop them into a blender along with about 1/2 cup of the stock, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the vegetable mixture moving before leaving it on to puree. Pour the pureed onion, celery, and garlic back into the stock.
  • Remove as much cooked turkey meat from the carcass as possible and add the meat to the stock. Stir in the chopped turkey breast, frozen mixed vegetables, rice, canned kidney beans, salt, pepper, oregano, basil and paprika. Bring the soup to a boil, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender, 20 to 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will give your soup a more flavorful and nutritious broth. Good options include carrots, celery, onions, leeks, and parsnips.
  • Roast the bones before simmering them: This will help to develop a deeper flavor in the broth. You can roast the bones in the oven at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 30-45 minutes, or until they are browned.
  • Simmer the soup for at least 4 hours: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can simmer the soup for longer if you have time, but 4 hours is a good minimum.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or sage.
  • Serve the soup hot: Turkey bone soup is best served hot, with a side of crusty bread or crackers.
