Easy Homemade Chicken Stock
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 roasted chicken carcasses
- any leftover chicken drippings optional
- 1 large onion quartered
- 4-5 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 cup carrots
- 1 cup celery
- 1/2 cup fresh parsley sage, rosemary, thyme bunches or anything extra you have on hand
- 10 whole peppercorns
- water to cover (about 4 or 5 quarts)
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine all of the ingredients and cover with water. (It's okay if some things are sticking out at first).
- Place on the stove over high heat, and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer the stock for 2-4 hours. (The longer the richer the stock).
- Pour through a fine mesh strainer, and cool.
- I like to divide mine into mason jars and pop them in the freezer for an easy starter for any soup!
