I've been making this recipe for a winter now. I've used homemade vegetable or turkey broth and used leeks or a yellow onion. It always turns out well. This is a fabulous way to use up leftover turkey from the holidays. I cube up any leftover meat and throw any leftover celery and carrots in a ziploc bag with the turkey carcass to use for broth. All of it can go into the freezer to make this soup at a later date.<br/><br/>I like the idea of using wild rice instead of noodles to make it gluten free but I haven't had the chance to try that yet personally.
