Homemade chicken broth is so simple to make and the flavors cant compare to the storebought kind. Make a big batch and use it for delicious soups, stews, all kinds of sauces.

📝 Ingredients

  • 14 cups water
  • 1 whole chicken
  • 1 1/2- 2 onions
  • 2 large celery sticks
  • 2 large carrots
  • 4 garlic cloves
  • 1 tbsp Salt

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1--- Boil vegetables and chicken ---
  2. 2Peel the vegetables and rinse the chicken. Then add them to a large stockpot.
  3. 3Add about 14 cups of water and 1 tbsp of salt to the pot and bring it to a boil.
  4. 4After the stock comes to a boil, the chicken scum will rise to the top of the pot. Just skim it using a mesh sieve.
  5. 5After the chicken scum has been removed, cook the stock over low heat for about 2-3 hours.
  6. 6--- Let the broth cool, then strain it ---
  7. 7Once the broth has cooled to room temperature, transfer to a large bowl. Make sure to strain it through a cheesecloth. I like to line a strainer under the cheesecloth just in case it slips.
  8. 8Pour the stock into plastic containers and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
