2. Simmer
- Cover, and simmer over very low heat for an hour and a half. Add more water when it becomes necessary to maintain the same level.Once this time has passed, remove it from the heat and let it cool down to room temperature.
3. Straining
- Strain and get rid of solids.If there was meat on the bones, you can pick up the pieces and use them for empanada fillings.
4. Storing
- Separate into portions of one cup each and freeze.
Notes
- To make the broth, buy a chicken, carve it, and save the parts you can use for another recipe. We'll just need the ribcage and any discarded bones for this recipe. Nothing to waste.
