The Quick and Easy Way to Make Turkey Soup with no turkey carcass:
If you don’t have a turkey carcass, pick up some turkey broth at the store. It should be available this time of year. If not, it’s okay to use chicken. Just use that broth in place of the long simmering broth in the recipe and continue with the recipe to make the soup.
There is something really satisfying about having a large pot of soup simmering away on the stove. With a couple of rolls for dunking, it makes for a nice, comforting dinner. And with any luck you’ll have enough for a few days worth of lunches too.
