Chicken Stock or Chicken Broth is the workhorse of the kitchen. This is used as a base for many sauces and soups and this is one of the easiest ways to reduce the sodium in your meals.
Ingredients
- 1 Chicken Back - Or Chicken Carcass
- 1 Onion - Chopped
- 12 Garlic Cloves - Chopped
- 1 Tbl Fresh Ginger - Peeled and Sliced
- 2 Stalks Celery
- 2 Carrots
- 1 Sprig Fresh Rosemary
- 2 Bay Leaves
Preparation
Step 1:
Roast chicken back at 425F degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown. If using a chicken carcass from an already roasted chicken, you can skip this step.
Step 2:
Add the chicken, with the remaining ingredients in a large pot and cover with cold water. (Water should be at least 1 inch higher than the chicken.) Cook over medium-high heat until the liquid is slowly simmering. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook uncovered for at least 8 hours. Check from time to time to add water. After 8 hours, strain the broth and discard the chicken and the vegetables. Return broth to the pot and simmer until the liquid is reduced to about 8 cups.
