Servings: 6

STOCK
1    All bones from roast turkey

SOUP

1/3 c  Grated zucchini
1 ts Dried basil
1 ts Dried thyme
1 ds Hot pepper sauce
Salt to taste
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.
