This is a great hearty healthy soup.  Great for lunch or anytime.  It also freezes well.  There is no additional salt added (except bouillon), so you may have to season to taste.

• 1 turkey (or chicken) carcass – boil with 2 l water in a large pot.
• add 1 large onion chopped
• 1 clove garlic
• boil for approximately 1 hour
• strain the liquid and remove remaining meat from the bones.
• return broth to the pot and add:
• 3 stalks of finely chopped celery
• 1 large onion finely chopped
• 2 large cloves garlic finely chopped
• 3 parnips finely chopped
• 1/2 large turnip chopped
• 1 bag of baby carrots chopped
• 1 Tablespoon Italiano seasoning (Clubhouse)
• 1 chicken bouillion cube 1130 mg  sodium per 1/2 cube (or Luda Chicken bouillon mix 95 mg sodium/20 ml) 
• 1 tsp. parsley
• 1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp. oregano
• 1/2 tsp. Mrs. Dash chicken grilling blend (optional)

Simmer on medium low heat until vegetables are cooked (approximately 1 and 1/2 hours).  Add more water if desired.  Skim fat when cool. You could add cooked rice, cooked barley, cooked lentil soup mix, cooked pasta (cooking before adding to the soup will help reduce the starch in those foods).  You can add any vegetables in this soup that you wish.
