This soup is unforgiving....it is very easy to make. You can omit the barley & rice & turkey and just thicken with cream of wheat and add sliced pieces of ring sausage...also very delicious. The day after Thanksgiving, I usually put the carcass in the freezer in a kitchen trash bag. And when we are tired of eating leftovers, 2-3 days later, I put the leftovers in the bag too. Then, several weeks later....make a big batch of soup.....ymmmm...enjoy
