Hearty Turkey and Vegetable Soup image

Save the carcass,pan juices and any leftover gravy from your next turkey for the broth for this soup. If you wish, a turkey breast and 2 drumsticks can be substituted for the turkey carcass. After simmering broth, reserve meat for soup. The recipe is from an October 1985 issue of Bon Appetit that featured a menu and recipes for "A Soup and Bread Supper".
