Creamed Turkey & Rice Soup ( Recipe by DomesticGoddess )
This is my "favorite" home-cooked soup!! I prepare this soup every year after Thanksgiving is over.
1 turkey carcass ( from a 14-lb. cooked turkey ) 14 cups water 1 large onion, chopped fine 3 stalks celery, sliced thin 4 large carrots, chopped or sliced thin 1/3 cup uncooked long grain white rice ( If you like rice, add 1/2 cup ) 1 cup butter or margarine 1 1/2 cups flour 1 pint half-and-half cream 3 cups diced cooked turkey ( I always add 5 cups ) 1/2 teaspoon poultry seasoning 6 teaspoons instant chicken bouillon granules salt & pepper to taste
In a large soup kettle or stockpot, add turkey carcass and the 14 cups of water. Bring water to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 1 hr. and 30 minutes. Remove bones; reserve meat for soup. Strain stock; set aside.
In a large saucepan, combine onions, celery, carrots, rice and 1 quart (4 cups) of the stock. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes; set aside.
In a large soup kettle, melt butter. Blend in flour; heat until bubbly. Add the half-and-half, and remaining 2 quarts (8 cups) of stock, to the butter/flour mixture; cook and stir until bubbly. Stir in the reserved vegetable mixture, turkey meat and seasonings. Heat slowly to serving temperature. Serves 12-14. ( This soup freezes well ).
