Turkey Tarragon Soup

We had so many things going on right after Thanksgiving that I froze the turkey carcass to make a soup with later on; then pulled it out this past Sunday to make this Turkey Tarragon Soup.

I've heard people say that they have never made a soup using the bones, but whether it's turkey or chicken, it's so simple you'll never throw out the bones again!

Turkey Tarragon Soup

How do you make Turkey Tarragon Soup?

For this recipe you'll need the turkey carcass, canola oil, celery, carrots, red onion, fresh tarragon, parsley and pasta. 

Start by heating the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven; then add the celery, carrots and onions. Sauté until the onions start to become soft and translucent.

Add the turkey carcass; then fill the pot with water, making sure you cover all of the bones. Add the tarragon, parsley; then season with salt and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil; then allow to simmer for 1 hour.

Remove the bones from the soup and discard. Finally, add the pasta and simmer for another 30 minutes until the pasta is cooked through. We make this Turkey Tarragon Soup mostly after Thanksgiving, but you can make it using leftover roasted chicken as well.

Also, a lot of meat usually comes off of the bone, but if you want to add a bit more, you're welcome to do so.
