Source of Recipe

internet


List of Ingredients

1 (3 1/2 to 4 pound) chicken, cut into pieces
2 ribs celery, roughly chopped
1 large carrot, roughly chopped
1 large yellow onion, peeled and quartered
1 head garlic, cut in 1/2 horizontally
3 bay leaves
2 sprigs fresh thyme
Parsley stems
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
4 quarts water



Recipe

To make the stock, in a large stockpot, combine all the ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, skimming the surface occasionally to remove any foam that forms on the surface.
Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean container. Remove the meat from the bones and discard the bones and vegetables. Let cool completely, and refrigerate overnight. Skim any fat that forms on the surface after chilled. Keep refrigerated until ready to use, up to 3 days, or place in airtight containers and freeze for up to 2 months.
Yield: about 3 quarts, and 3 cups of cooked chicken meat
