Chili Bean Turkey Sopa

The rain is pounding, the lighting is spreading fear and behold the power of thunder threatening the lands.  But, we will not bend to the heavens...just yet.  At least not until you have had this heavenly soup for more than the soul.  Just throw all the leftover juices, fancy broths into one big boy pot.  Then, use the remaining turkey meat, bones wanted.  Steam some rainbow noodles in beer, butter, a touch of honey, vinager, fresh garlic cloves and some earthly herbs of choice.  I used Italian seasoning and 3 Elquapo bay leaves.  Hopefully, the onion, celery was part of your turkey creation.  However, if not, they are stars of the soup...gettem' in.  This absolute change of taste-innovation will sneak-up on the palate, especially after adding some drained chili beans! Should take about 2 hours of simmering.  Then bring the family to the table, cuz "Baby It's Cold Outside" come heat up.
