How To make Turkey Noodle Soup

STOCK 1 All bones from roast turkey
7 c Water
1 Bay leaf
1 Stalk celery, chopped
1 Onion, quartered
SOUP 1/4 c Broken noodles, 1/2" pieces
1 Stalk celery & leaves, chop
1 Carrot, chopped
3 Green onions, sliced
1/3 c Grated zucchini
1 ts Dried basil
1 ts Dried thyme
1 ds Hot pepper sauce
Salt to taste Freshly ground pepper My note: Remove bones from turkey or chicken before serving and refrigerate or freeze until you have time to prepare the soup. I like to do it the next day, if possible, and make a batch of crackers while the soup is cooking. STOCK: In stockpot or large saucepan, combine bones, water, bay leaf, celery and onion. (Skin and drippings may be included, if desired.) Simmer, covered about 4 hours. Strain, reserving stock. Let bones cool, pick out any meat and add to the stock. SOUP: In stockpot or saucepan, bring stock to boil; add noodles and simmer for 5 minutes. Add celery, carrot, green onions, zucchini, basil and thyme. Simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in hot pepper sauce, season with salt and pepper to taste. Makes about 4 1/2 cups. 3/4 cup serving - 91 calories, 1 1/2 protein, 1/2 fruit & vegetable choice
