This broth is good for cooking or for drinking straight. Try serving along with a meal or as a first course.
Makes 2 quarts.
Ingredients
1/2 chicken, with bones and skin
1 onion, quartered
3-4 garlic cloves
3 stalks celery, whole or in large pieces
3 carrots, whole or in large pieces
1/4 tsp spice cloves
1/4 tsp black peppercorns
1/4 tsp celery seeds
1/2 cup white wine vinegar
water to cover, up to 2 quarts
Directions
Place all ingredients in a large pot with a lid and add water to just cover them. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low.
Stir, cover and simmer for at least half an hour and up to 2 hours.
Drain, reserving the solids for making bone broth.
Once cool enough, store in glass quart jars in the refrigerator.
Chicken stock is useful in many of the same ways bone broth is, but it’s nice to have more than one option to reach for. Chicken stock is also very healthy, if not quite as nutritious as bone broth. Making your own will save money and add flavor to so many dishes! How do you like it?
