Basic kitchen stuff. Or "How to avoid canned sodium 101". If you like salt, put it in on your own.

8 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Place chicken and water in stockpot, making sure water level covers chicken.
  2. 2
    Bring to a boil over med-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, skimming off foam, until it clears (try not to agitate too much from the bottom at this point).
  3. 3
    Add onions, carrots, celery, and bouquet garni sachet, and simmer uncovered for approximately 3 hours, maintaining water level to cover chicken.
  4. 4
    At the end of cooking time, strain mixture through a sieve (don't press the vegetables or mixture will cloud) into a clean pot and allow to cool.
  5. 5
    Refrigerate, then remove fat before using, if desired (it should rise to the top).
  6. 6
    You can freeze any you don't want to use right away at this point, or use immediately (I put my extra into ice-cube trays then into plastic bags once it has frozen).
