Turkey and wild rice soup

After we took off the meat from the turkey, I broke the bones into smaller pieces and dumped it in my beloved 6.5 qt crockpot along with celery, carrots, parsley, and onion. I covered it with water and let it cook overnight for 10 hours. In the morning, I had a pot full of turkey stock. I made soup with this stock:

Turkey and wild rice soup - crock pot version - adapted from crockpot365.blogspot.com

home made turkey stock from thanksgiving turkey carcass
1 cup celery (whatever that's left over in the fridge from all that cooking)
1 cup carrots
1 onion diced
bits of turkey that was still on the bones
some left over turkey meat to add meat volume, diced
some left over low sodium chicken broth (I don't like left over broth in an opened can so I thought this was a good chance to use it up)
some water (I didn't think there was enough liquid so I added some)
salt
pepper
1/2 cup wild rice (that's all I had)
3 handfuls of spinach from the bag
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
sprinkle of sage

dump everything in the crockpot and cook on low for 10 hours. The crockpot is on right now so it will be done by tomorrow morning and we can eat it for breakfast or lunch.

This soup is good because it allows me to use all the left over uncooked veggies from dinner. It also allows me to use the turkey bones. It makes me feel like I used everything that the turkey offered (I did use the neck and giblet to make stock which I used along with turkey dripping and a bit of turkey fat to make gravy). Thank you, turkey, for all that you gave us for the wonder meal and a few more meals to follow. By the way, I got this 19 lb turkey for free at my local grocery store. Isn't that amazing.

Next morning....
I had the soup and I thought it was OK. Something seems to be missing. It's not perfect but it's nice to have soup on demand in the fridge.
