"I have used this recipe for several years and made some minor adjustments that reflect some of your comments. First of all I use Smoked Turkey Wings and use about 3 pounds for extra flavor. Second I also use Celery in addition to the onion and carrots, which I find odd not found in this recipe. Third I fill the pot with half water and half chicken stock for more flavor. If you put to much liquid in you will have soup. Double the roux and add as necessary in case it is to thin. If you do this, the recipe will taste great. Don't forget to season with Kosher salt and fresh ground pepper. Tyler is still and alway's the Man! Don't Stop Cooking!
