Makes 2 1/2 Quarts in Colossal Cup
and Individual Casseroles

Ingredients
  • 1 turkey carcass, broken up
  • 6 cups water
  • 2 1/4 (1 pound, 4 ounce can) tomatoes
  • 3 large stalks of celery, diced
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 Tbs. salt
  • 1/2 tsp. poultry seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/3 cup raw rice
  • 1 package (12 ounces) quick-frozen mixed vegetables

Instructions

Place carcass, water, tomatoes, celery, onion, salt, poultry seasoning and pepper in a 6-quart kettle.

Cover kettle; bring to boiling; reduce heat; simmer about 1 1/2 hours.

Add rice and quick-frozen vegetables; simmer 1/2 hour longer, or until the rice and vegetables are tender.

Remove carcass bones; skin off fat with large spoon. (Or cool, then chill soup. Fat will rise to top of soup and harden; skim off.)

Reheat soup; serve piping hot with a sprinkle of chopped parsley, if desired.
