MMMMM---------------------------STOCK--------------------------------
1 All bones from roast turkey 1 Stalk celery; chopped
7 c Water 1 Onion; quartered
1 Bay leaf;

MMMMM----------------------------SOUP---------------------------------
1/4 c Broken noodles; 1/2" pieces 1 ts Dried basil;
1 Celery; Stack & leaves, chop 1 ts Dried thyme;
1 Carrot; chopped 1 ds Hot pepper sauce;
3 Green onions; sliced Salt to taste
1/3 c Zucchini; grated 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.
