For a richer flavor, consider roasting the turkey carcass before simmering it in water. This adds depth and smokiness to the broth. If you prefer a smoother soup, you can use an immersion blender to partially blend the vegetables after they are cooked. To make this soup vegetarian-friendly, omit the turkey carcass and use vegetable broth instead. Consider adding smoked paprika for a hint of smoky flavor. For a gluten-free option, substitute the barley with rice or quinoa.
