We actually filmed this much closer to making the turkey, but we thought it would make more sense to put it up in the new year, so that the eggnog video could go up before New Years. This is just a super simple and delicious soup made from leftover turkey (from our spatchcocked roasted turkey) and veggies. Of course, it's super easy to customize this recipe with different veggies, hot sauce, Worchestershire, thickened with a roux, adding noodles, whatever you like. This is a basic recipe to add your own flair to!
This is a perfect recipe for keeping warm while this cold front settles in on the Northeast! Hope everyone's staying nice and warm, and also that no one is suffering any major travel disruptions.

Hubby and I had a roommate for a while (we're renters), and he was a friend of a friend (FOAF). At the time, we were making our own stock far more regularly than we do now, and hubby would make soup frequently in the winter with that amazing homemade stock. The FOAF would eat all the veggies and bits of meat out of the soup, then dump the remaining broth down the sink. I thought hubby was going to strangle him one day!
One of the reasons we stopped making our own stock as often is that the place that we bought the backs and wingtips near us closed down, and it's harder to get them, now. The stock we'd make on backs and wingtips had so much gelatin in it that it was practically solid at room temperature!
