    Homemade, nutritious chicken stock, bone broth! via @artandthekitch

    Wholesome Homemade Chicken Stock is so easy to make and incredibly flavourful. You may never buy store-bought again. Perfect for homemade soup!

    I have always found store bought chicken stock or broth tends to be high in salt or flavourless. This can greatly affect the outcome of a recipe especially soups. My recipe for Homemade Chicken Stock has very little salt, allowing you to season you're recipes perfectly. A homemade stock will add aromatic flavour and depth to any recipe like my Ham and Bean Soup or Italian Turkey Burger Soup.

    how to make homemade chicken stock

    I usually buy a whole chicken, cut into pieces and use the extra pieces (back, wings, rib etc.) for stock. Buying a whole chicken is usually the same price as chicken breasts and the bonus is you can make homemade chicken stock! Any leftover chicken can be added to prepared stock for a savoury soup or stew. A great idea is to save the bones of a few chickens or leftover bones from roast chicken in the freezer, then whip up a double or even triple batch of stock. This stock which can also be referred to as Bone Broth is believed to have many health benefits. The animal parts contain protein collagen, which turns into gelatin when cooked, so don't skim off that top layer after its cooled.

    I start my Homemade Chicken Stock by browning the chicken pieces until a deep golden brown. This gives your stock a delicious depth of flavour and golden colour.

    Chop fresh onion, carrots, celery, leeks and parsley. Fresh is best, so look for high quality produce.

    Place the chicken, veggies, parsley, peppercorn and thyme in a large deep pot. Add cold water to completely cover chicken and vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce to simmer for 3 to 4 hours. Never boil the stock, keep at a low simmer. Strain stock, cool and store in freezer for ready made chicken stock any time. I like to store the stock in 1 cup servings.
