Chicken Broth
- 12 1/4 ounces celery ribs (about 4 large stalks)
- 8 1/2 ounces carrots (about 4 medium carrots)
- 29 1/8 ounces yellow onions, with skins (about 2 large onions)
- 4 1/3 lbs whole chickens (bones, skin, meat, and neck)
- 2 1/3 ounces Italian parsley, fresh
- 6 garlic cloves
- 6 bay leaves
- 2 tablespoons thyme, dried
- 1 tablespoon white peppercorns
- 48 cups water, cold
- Cover all ingredients with water, cover the pot, and bring to a simmer over high heat.
- Reduce heat, maintaining the simmer and cook, covered, for 60 minutes.
- Remove the chicken carcass. Remove the skin, bones, neck, and cartillage and place those items back into the pot. Re-cover and return to a simmer. Set the meat aside for later use in other recipes -- possibly chicken soup.
- Remove the lid and simmer, uncovered, for another 3.5 hours.
- Strain the liquid of all solids, taste, and season with salt to taste.
