Turkey soup recipe: Alton Brown tackles the remains of the bird

Since "Good Eats" host Alton Brown walked us through brining a turkey, it seems only fitting he tell us what to do once the bird has been reduced to a carcass.

In his "Remains of the Bird" special, the Food Network personality gives us a recipe for turkey soup. What we love about it is that it's not terribly labor intensive or include odd ingredients.

The video above is fairly self-explanatory, but if you want to print out the ingredients to go shopping, here you go:


Ingredients:

• 2 quarts vegetable stock
• 1 turkey carcass
• 1 (10-ounce) box frozen mixed vegetables
• 1/2 cup rice
• 2 cups cooked turkey, cubed
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 2 teaspoons dried thyme
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

Combine the vegetable stock and the turkey carcass in a large soup pot over low heat and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 1 hour.

Add the remaining ingredients to the stock. Cover and simmer for an additional 20 minutes.

Remove the bones before serving.
