Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 quarts

Ingredients

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

Preparation

  1. Put chicken bones, onions, carrots, celery, bay leaf, thyme, parsley, peppercorns, and 6 quarts water in a large soup pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Skim off and discard any foam that has risen to the surface. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 hours, skimming frequently. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve and cool to room temperature. Skim the fat from the surface and use immediately, or refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for future use (the fat will rise to surface and congeal).
