Full-Flavored Chicken Broth

From the Meera S.T. Vargo collection
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 12 hours
Yield 3 qt.

Introduction

This recipe — adapted from The Italian Country Table, by Lynne Rosetto Kasper — makes a very full-flavored, meaty broth. Use it for soups and sauces when you want an intense flavor or background. This stock requires a 12-hour simmering, but it only takes a few minutes to put everything into the pot.

Ingredients

1 whole chicken (about 4 pounds), cut into pieces
6 qt. water
2 unpeeled onions, chopped
2 unpeeled carrots, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
4 whole heads of garlic, left unpeeled and halved horizontally
2 whole cloves
1 bay leaf
1 can (14 ounces) tomatoes in juice

Steps

  1. Combine all ingredients in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer. Cook at a bare simmer, partially covered, for 12 hours. Keep liquid at least 2 inches above solids by adding boiling water to pot as needed.
  2. Pour broth through a fine-mesh sieve and skim off the fat. Use immediately or refrigerate.
