Leftover Thanksgiving Turkey Rice Soup

1/2 lg. onion, chopped
1-2 lbs. leftover Thanksgiving turkey, chopped
1/4 cup flour
4 cups chicken broth
2 lg. carrots, chopped
1/2 cup corn
8 cups water
1 cup rice, uncooked
salt and pepper to taste

In a deep stock pot, saute onions in a little bit of vegetable or olive oil until they are transparent. Add turkey chunks and raise heat. Sprinkle with flour and stir until all the flour is absorbed. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil, stirring often. Add carrots and corn. Add the water and return to a boil. Pour in rice. reduce heat and let simmer until the rice is cooked.

P.S. The 4 cups chicken broth can be replaced with 4 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules dissolved in 4 cups water. The 1/4 cup flour can be replaced by an equal amount of leftover gravy for the thickener.
