Guilt Free Chicken Stock

Lately I just make chicken stock whenever I feel like it, without worrying too much about exact measurements. This is the latest batch :)

Course: Soup

Ingredients

  • 2-4 lbs. chicken bones or chicken carcasses
  • 2-3 onion
  • 3-4 carrot
  • 1/2 bunch cilantro
  • black peppercorn crushed
  • 1-2 gallons water cold
Other ingredients to consider:
  • celery
  • parsley
  • thyme
  • bay leaf
  • chicken feet

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Give the onions and carrots a rough chop and cook them in a glug of oil over medium heat.
  2. When the onion is starting to brown add the remaining ingredients. For this batch that meant: chicken carcass, 1/2 bunch cilantro, some crushed peppercorns, and 2 gallons cold water.
  3. Bring this mixture to a boil. You can skim off and discard any foam that rises to the surface. Once boiling reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 1-2 hours. (This batch simmered for 90 minutes.)
  4. Set aside to cool, then send it all through a fine mesh sieve. Portion your stock into Mason jars or tupperware containers. I usually put some in the fridge where it will keep for a few days, and put the rest in the freezer where it will keep for months.
  5. Note: at it cools the fat will rise to the surface and solidify. You are welcome to scrape off and discard as much of it as you want. Lately I keep most of it as it does wonders for flavor :)
