I make broth all the time. I store it in my freezer so I have it whenever I need it. This is the recipe I use when I have extra chicken pieces that we wont eat for dinner.
Ingredients:
2 1/2 lbs bony chicken pieces (wings, back, necks)
3 stalks celery & leaves, cut up
2 carrots, cut up
1 large onion, cut up
2 sprigs parsley
1 teaspoon salt
2 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 cups cold water
Directions:
1. In a large pot place chicken pieces, celery, carrots, onion, parsley, thyme, bay leaves, salt and pepper.
2. Add water.
3. Bring to boiling; reduce heat.
4. Cover and simmer for 2 hours.
5. Remove chicken.
6. Strain broth through cheesecloth placed in colander.
7. Discard vegetables and seasonings.
8. Refrigerate broth and any reserved meat in separate covered containers up to 3 days or freeze up to 6 months.
