Preparation
Step 1
1.Place turkey carcass in a soup kettle or Dutch oven and cover with water (at least 3 qts) along with celery salt, poultry seasoning, onion salt, and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour. Remove carcass; cool.

5.Add cream, rice, salt, bouillon, pepper, and reserved turkey. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 5 minutes. Add any remaining 1 qt of broth to reach desired thickness. I added 2 cups for mine. Taste and if needed add additional poultry season to taste.
6.Serve with each bowl with a sprinkle of dried cranberries if desired. Serves 10-12.
