To buy the same amount of stock that I made (about four cups) would have cost me nearly $5 in the store. But here, I bought the whole chicken for $6 and practically got this delicious, low sodium stock for free!
Now, take note that while this is super easy, it does take time on your stove. I left my on for over three hours, but let me tell you, it was worth it. Because it was just simmering, I didn't need to be near it, but just aware of it on the element.
Ingredients
- chicken carcass (some chicken can be left on the bones)
- 1 onion, cut in half
- 2 carrots, peeled and cut in thirds
- 2 celery stalks, leaves on and cut in thirds
- salt and pepper
- water
- Put the carcass, onion, celery and carrots in a large stock pot.
- Generously season with salt and pepper.
- Add enough water to cover the carcass.
- Bring to a boil and then turn down to a slow simmer. Put the lid on the pot and simmer for 3-4 hours.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the bones and aromatics. Pour the rest of the stock through a strainer to remove all the bits.
- Pour stock into a container and refrigerate or use immediately.
