Classic Turkey and Rice Soup

Is there anything as warm as a bowl of soup made with the leftovers of a meal that you shared with your family?

You will need:

  • 1 turkey carcass
  • 1 large onion, halved and skin left on
  • 1 large carrot, roughly chopped
  • 1 stalk celery, roughly chopped
  • 1 head garlic, halved
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 bay leaves
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • water to cover
  • 2 large onions, diced
  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 cups cooked rice

Instructions:

Combine turkey carcass, halved onion, roughly chopped carrot, roughly chopped celery, halved garlic head, 1 teaspoon rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and pepper in a stockpot; pour in enough water to cover. Bring mixture to a boil, cover pot, reduce heat, and simmer until flavors have blended, about 1 hour.

Remove turkey carcass and pull remaining meat from bones; reserve meat and discard carcass. Remove vegetables and bay leaves from stock using a slotted spoon and discard.

Stir diced onions, diced carrots, diced celery, minced garlic, poultry seasoning, 1 teaspoon rosemary, and onion powder into stock; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer until vegetables are very tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Add cooked rice and turkey meat to soup; season with salt and pepper. Cook until rice and turkey meat are warmed, about 5 minutes.
