Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place 2 lbs chicken bones in a large stockpot. Add 2 peeled carrots, 1 chopped onion, 1/4 cup fresh thyme, 1/4 cup fresh parsley, and 2 bay leaves.
  2. Step 2: Cover with 8 cups cold water, then bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface during the first 10 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer for 3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Step 4: Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl, discarding solids. Cool completely before storing.
