Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Chicken Broth.
Step 1
To create a delicious homemade chicken broth, start by grabbing a large stock pot and adding water along with whole chickens, chopped carrots, celery, onions, leeks, sea salt, minced garlic, garlic powder, crushed dried rosemary, dried parsley, and dried thyme.
Step 2
Give everything a gentle stir to combine the ingredients.
Step 3
Next, partially cover the pot with a lid and bring the mixture to a lively boil, letting the aromas fill your kitchen.
Step 4
Once it’s bubbling away, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about two hours.
Step 5
This slow cooking process allows the chicken to become tender and fall off the bone, infusing the broth with rich flavors.
Step 6
After the simmering time, carefully lift the chicken out of the pot and set it aside to cool.
Step 7
If you’re using fresh parsley, now’s the time to stir it into the broth and let it wilt for a couple of minutes, adding a fresh touch to your creation.
Step 8
Once the broth has cooled slightly, remove the pot from the heat and strain the liquid into freezable containers, aiming for sizes between two to four cups.
Step 9
You can use the broth right away for a comforting soup or freeze it for future meals, ensuring you always have a flavorful base on hand.
Step 10
Enjoy the warmth and satisfaction of your homemade broth!.
