1/2 cup leek, shredded
1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup Italian parsley, finely chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

Method:
Place turkey stock, garlic, celery, leek, onion, carrot, and 1/2 of the parsley in a medium-sized soup pot and bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the shredded turkey meat, rutabaga, and rest of the barley and bring to a boil. Reduce to a low heat and simmer covered for about 45 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Ingredients:
Turkey carcass, separated into large pieces
Left over gravy, if available
Left over stuffing, if available
Onions, chunked
Carrots, chunked
Green pepper, chunked
1 28-oz. can tomatoes, any kind; whole, chopped, crushed, etc.
1 to 3 dried ancho chilis, or hotter variety if you like
1/4 to 1 cup dried beans, soaked. I like black ones here
Salt and pepper to taste
Water to cover
Thyme

Method:
Put everything except thyme together in a large soup pot, covering with cold water. Bring to a boil and simmer at least an hour so all the vegetables have given their all to the flavor and the beans are soft.
Add lots of thyme and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove carcass and strip of any meat, which you put back into the soup. This freezes very well.
