Ingredients

14 cups water
1 whole chicken
1 1/2- 2 onions
2 large celery sticks
2 large carrots
4 garlic cloves
1 tbsp Salt

Instructions

Boil vegetables and chicken

Peel the vegetables and rinse the chicken. Then add them to a large stockpot.
Add about 14 cups of water and 1 tbsp of salt to the pot and bring it to a boil.
After the stock comes to a boil, the chicken scum will rise to the top of the pot. Just skim it using a mesh sieve.
After the chicken scum has been removed, cook the stock over low heat for about 2-3 hours.

Let the broth cool, then strain it

Once the broth has cooled to room temperature, transfer to a large bowl. Make sure to strain it through a cheesecloth. I like to line a strainer under the cheesecloth just in case it slips.
Pour the stock into plastic containers and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months.
