Description

Rich, velvety, and smooth, this traditional stock is so simple and divine you will never by another can or boxed stock again.

Ingredients

  • 4 whole Carrots
  • 2 stalks Celery, Trimmed
  • 1 whole Yellow Onion
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 1 whole Chicken, 4 To 5 Pounds
  • 1 bunch Parsley
  • 1 leaf Bay Leaf
  • 1 Tablespoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Whole Peppercorns
  • 4 quarts Water (approximately)

Preparation

Peel the carrots and chop in half along with the celery. Peel and quarter the onion. Peel the garlic and leave whole.

Place the chicken (without the giblets) in the bottom of an 8-quart pot. Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, parsley, bay leaf, salt and peppercorns to the pot.

Fill the pot with water until it covers the chicken over about 1 inch.

Bring to a boil and then reduce to low to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour and 15 minutes. With a spoon, skim off any fat or oil that comes to the surface during this time.

Remove the chicken from the pot and remove the meat from the bones. Place the meat in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for future use. Return the bones to the pot, adding water to cover the bones if necessary and continue to simmer for another 40 minutes.

Once finished, strain the stock from the bones and vegetables.

Once finished, strain the stock from the bones and vegetables. Reserve the stock and discard the bones and vegetables.

Allow to cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Use in soups and stews or to cook pasta, rice or beans in.

“Once finished, strain the stock from the bones and vegetables. Reserve the stock and discard the bones and vegetables.”

My gosh…I couldn’t believe my eyes when I read that. Discard the bones and vegetables? I threw mine in the blender and used the slurry to make dog biscuits. Heck, the veggies wouldn’t have been bad in a side dish either…

Nice recipe by-the-way.
