Chicken Broth from Scratch

Easy to make Chicken Broth from Scratch
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 8 hours
Servings: 8 people
Course: Soup
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 1-2 Bones of a Whole Chicken
  • 4 quarts Water
  • 2-3 Cups Veggie scraps like carrots, onions, celery, garlic or whatever you have on hand can also use fresh veggies
  • 3 tbsp Mineral Salt
  • 1 tbsp Whole star anise
  • 1 tbsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp whole pepper corn
  • 1 tbsp Cumin
  • 1 bay leaf

Method
 

  1. Rinse off all the veggies and throw in the crock pot with bones from the chicken. Add enough water to completely cover all the bones.
  2. Cook on high for 2-3 Hours and then lower heat for 8 hours
  3. Strain the scraps and bones out of the broth and keep cooking until super condensed. I usually do 2 more hours.
  4. Pour into ice cube trays and freeze until solid. Pop out of ice cube tray and keep in bag in your freezer. Use whenever you need chicken broth. One part broth - two parts water for typical broth consistency.
