Ingredients

2 quarts store-bought chicken stock
1 medium onion, diced
2 celery stalks
3 garlic cloves
2 bay leaves
4 pounds chicken backs and necks, fresh or frozen

Directions

1

Fill a generous pot with the chicken stock and 1 quart water.
2

Add the onion, celery, garlic, and bay leaves.
3

Boil for 20 to 25 minutes.
4

Put the pieces of chicken, fresh or frozen, into the stock.
5

Boil vigorously for 1 hour.
6

Take the pot off the stove and let the contents cool.
7

Skim off any scum at the top, then strain the broth.
8

(I pour it through a four-ply cheesecloth in a strainer.)
9

Place the strained broth in the freezer in 6 small packets (1 1/2 cups per packet) so the entire batch does not have to be defrosted.
