Turkey Noodle Soup

We baked up a good tasting turkey the other day. The only problem with baking a yummy turkey is what do you do with all of the left overs? Well, I decided to make some homemade soup and it was yummy in my family's tummy.

TURKEY NOODLE SOUP
turkey stock (see below on how to make it)
4 C carrots, chopped
4 C onions, chopped
4 C celery, chopped
turkey
5 garlic cloves, chopped
a 16 oz. bag of bow tie pasta
grated Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste

First, you need to take the left over turkey bones and the meat stuck to the bone and put it in a large pot. Cover the turkey bones with water. Add a bunch of cut up carrots, onions, and celery to the pot. I put in about 2 cups of each. Add a few cloves of garlic too. Bring the stock base to a boil then let it simmer for about 4 hours. After the stock has simmered strain all the extras and chunks from the broth. Pour the broth into a new pot. Add the rest of the carrots, onions, and celery. Add 3 cloves of garlic too. Bring the broth and veggies to a boil then let them simmer until the veggies are soft yet still bitey. Add the turkey meat pieces and the bag of noodles. Let the soup cook on medium heat for another 10-12 minutes or until noodles are al dente. Remove soup from heat and let sit for a few minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve in a bowl with Parmesan cheese sprinkled over the soup.
