Turkey Asparagus Soup

Contributed by: Melinda

I first made this with the remains of the Thanksgiving turkey one year and it was so good. I have also since made it using turkey drumsticks and wings only. A little easier and just as delicious.

1 turkey carcass and any leftover wings, drumsticks and/or about 2 cups chopped turkey meat
Water to cover turkey bones
2 bay leaves
2 stalks celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 onion, chopped
fresh sage
garlic (optional)
1 bunch fresh asparagus or leftover asparagus

Place turkey carcass, wings and drumsticks into a large, heavy stock pot
Add water to cover
Add sage, bay leaves, celery, carrot, onion and garlic if using
Bring to a boil, reduce to low and cook for several hours, until the meat is falling off the bones
Pour stock through a strainer into a large bowl
Return broth to the soup pot and remove meat and bones from the strainer - discard vegetables, sage and bay leaves
Pick all meat from the bones and if necessary chop into bite sized pieces
Add meat to the broth and bring back to a soft boil
Remove tough ends from the asparagus and chop into bite sized pieces
Add asparagus to the pot and cook until tender.
Serve with warm french bread and butter.

As with all soups this is better the second day.
