  5. Strain broth into a large bowl through a colander to remove bones, and set aside.

  6. Sauté onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, in olive oil, in your soup pot, until the onions start to turn translucent.

  7. Add your turkey bone broth, and ripped up turkey pieces, back to the soup pot.

  8. Add seasonings, bay leaves, Worcestershire sauce, Chicken OXO, thyme, parsley, salt and pepper.

  9. Add frozen peas.

  10. Bring soup to a boil, then turn the temp down, and let simmer for 1 more hour.

  11. About 15 minutes before the soup is done, add special ingredients that you or your family loves in their soup.

  12. ENJOY!
