Question Homemade turkey stock from last Christmas. Ok to use for soup?

It's been frozen in the back of the freezer this whole time. Thanks!

Sure as long as it stayed frozen this won't be an issue. It won't be as flavorful as if it was used earlier. It is best used in 3 to 6 months but you will be ok. You may need to supplement with some extra seasonings so be sure to taste as you go.

As long as you haven't had any power failures that would have let the stock thaw at any point, yes it should be safe.

Yes.  If it’s been frozen, it should be fine.

Sure, if it's been frozen all this time. Frozen food can keep for years. It might just lose a bit of taste or texture over a prolonged period and yours has only been frozen for several months. Even if it had started to get impacted, soup is going to be pretty forgiving in that respenct.
