Method:

My note: Remove bones from turkey or chicken before serving and refrigerate or freeze until you have time to prepare the soup.
I like to do it the next day, if possible, and make a batch of crackers while the soup is cooking.
STOCK: In stockpot or large saucepan, combine bones, water, bay leaf, celery and onion.
(Skin and drippings may be included, if desired.
) Simmer, covered about 4 hours.
Strain, reserving stock.
Let bones cool, pick out any meat and add to the stock.
SOUP: In stockpot or saucepan, bring stock to boil; add noodles and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add celery, carrot, green onions, zucchini, basil and thyme.
Simmer for 10 minutes.
Stir in hot pepper sauce, season with salt and pepper to taste.
Makes about 4 1/2 cups.
