Turkey [or Ham] Soup

Cut the best meat off the carcass, cover it and use it later.
Break up the remainder, bones and all, and boil for one hour in a large pan of water.
AFter one hour wait till it cools a bit then strain the liquid into a bowl, the solids are now garbage to throw away.
Either add chopped veggies and boil for 15 minutes or store the liquid in the refrigerator.
When you want soup, heat a bowlful in the microwave. For bean soup open a can of beans, strain and add the beans to the soup. You now have bean soup. For pea soup, open a can of beans, strain and add to the soup, you now have pea soup. Got some left over mashed potatoes, add to a bowl of soup and you now have [you guessed already...] potato soup. :-)

Home made soup provides a quick, low calorie evening meal.
