Turkey Soup with Homemade Broth from Our Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey

Name: Turkey Soup with Homemade Broth from Our Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey
Ingredients: Roasted turkey or chicken carcass, including any skin and meat that is still attached to the bones. Our turkey was 15 pounds.; Water, enough to cover the meat and bones in the pot; 1 cup of dry white wine; 2 tsp of salt; 2 large carrots, washed and diced; 4 stalks of celery with leaves, washed and chopped into 1/8 to 1/4 pieces; 4 cloves of garlic, chopped; 2 large onion, chopped; 8 black peppercorns; I used fresh snips of rosemary, thyme, sage, parsley, and oregano from my garden. If you do not have fresh herbs, you can start with 1/2 tsp each of dried herb varieties or leave them out altogether.; 2 chopped carrots; 2 celery sticks; 2 minced cloves of garlic; Ground salt and pepper, to taste; Egg noodles: I cook these separately and serve them on the side. If left in frozen turkey soup, the noodles will get mushy when unthawing. Fresh is always better.
