Time 2h30m

Yield About 2 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 5-pound fowl or the necks, backs, wing tips, gizzards and hearts of four to six chickens; two small whole fowl may also be used
1 leek, trimmed and scrubbed
1 onion
2 carrots, scraped
2 stalks celery including the tops
1 bay leaf
5 whole peppercorns
10 to 12 cups cold water
Sprig of fresh dill and sprig of fresh parsley, tied together in a piece of cheesecloth
Salt

Steps:

  • Place all ingredients except water, parsley, dill and salt in a kettle. Add water (it should cover the ingredients) and bring to a boil. Boil for five minutes.
  • Lower heat to a simmer and during the next five to 10 minutes carefully skim the top of the soup. When the soup seems to be simmering without additional scum collecting on top, add the parsley, dill and season with salt. Allow the soup to simmer for about two hours, adding a little additional water if necessary to keep the ingredients covered.
  • Remove chicken, vegetables and herbs and strain soup through a strainer lined with a linen napkin or several thicknesses of cheesecloth.
  • Return soup to a clean pot, return to a simmer and taste carefully for seasoning, adding additional salt if necessary. If the soup is too weak, continue simmering it to concentrate it until the desired intensity of flavor is reached. Chicken soup will keep in the refrigerator up to five days or it may be frozen.

This recipe is a great way to get kids involved in cooking. My kids love helping me make stock and they're always excited to eat the soup or stew that we make with it.

I'm new to cooking and this recipe was really easy to follow. I'm really happy with the way my stock turned out!

I followed the recipe exactly and my stock turned out really bland. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This stock is a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm a vegetarian, but I still love this recipe. I use vegetable scraps instead of chicken bones and it turns out great. It's the perfect base for a vegetarian soup or stew.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken bones. I always have a bag of chicken bones in my freezer and now I know what to do with them!

I'm not a huge fan of chicken stock, but this recipe is pretty good. It's definitely better than store-bought stock.

This recipe is a lifesaver! I used to buy store-bought chicken stock, but it's so expensive and doesn't taste as good as homemade. Now I make my own stock all the time and it's so much better.
