Ingredients
- 1 chicken carcass including any additional leftovers, leftover, cooked
- 2 carrot or 10-12 baby carrots, large
- 1 yellow onion sliced into chunks, skins left on if desired
- 2 garlic peeled, cloves
- 1 celery base with stalks sliced off
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 parsley including stems, bunch
- 10 thyme sprigs, fresh
- 2 bay leaf
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place the chicken carcass in a large stock pot and add all vegetables and seasonings.
- Cover with enough water so that it rises 1-2 inches above the ingredients.
- Bring the water to a boil.
- Immediately decrease the heat to bring the pot to a very low simmer. Cover, and let it gently simmer for at least 4 hours. (Or longer for a higher concentrated broth.)
- Use a Skimmer Spoon (or a Slotted Spoon) to lift out the vegetables and bones.
- Pour the liquid through a fine mesh strainer into a new pot.
- Allow the liquid to cool completely and pour into labeled soup containers or canning jars for freezing, leaving a little extra room for expansion.
- Use for homemade soups, sauces, or any recipe that calls for chicken stock. It will make your recipes taste so much better!
Notes
- I used a 6 lb. chicken for this stock, which yielded 7 quarts of chicken stock.
