Steps:

- Spread chicken legs in large roasting pan.

- Add these juices to stock pot along with chicken.
- Add remaining 2 quarts of water, carrot juice, and mixed vegetable juice.

- Add onions, carrots, leek, celery, garlic, rosemary, thyme, parsley, and bay leaves.
- Return to a boil, continuing to skim any foam that rises.
- Reduce heat to low and simmer until broth is rich and flavorful, about 2 hours.

- Refrigerate broth.
- Remove fat that solidifies on the surface.
