So before I can make my soup I have to make my own stock. Its very simple but time intensive.
First break up the turkey carcass that you saved after Thanksgiving and put it in a large stock pot.
Cover with water and add onion, garlic, celery and carrots and 2 Tbs salt
After slow boiling it for 3-4 hours uncovered, strain the broth into a large bowl or second soup pot. I first started staining mine into this glass mixing bowl but it was way too small.
finally after the stock has cooled separate it into two cup size freezer containers and freeze until needed. It will keep up to 6 months.
