Time 2h

Yield about 4 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 pounds meaty chicken bones, a combination of wings, backs and necks
2 medium onions, peeled and quartered
2 carrots, peeled
2 celery stalks
1 bay leaf
2 thyme sprigs
2 parsley sprigs
5 black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Put all the ingredients in a large soup pot. Add 6 quarts cold water, turn the heat to high and bring to a boil.
  • Turn the heat to a gentle simmer. Spoon off and discard any foam that rises to the surface.
  • Simmer, uncovered, for 2 hours. Strain broth through a fine-meshed sieve. Cool to room temperature and refrigerate for future use (chicken fat will rise to surface and congeal), or skim fat from surface and use immediately.
