Instructions
I buy a lot of rotisserie chickens. They are great for quick dinners and all kinds of quick meals. I put all the carcasses and leftovers in a big ziplock (2.5 gals) and save them till I have 5 or 6.
Then, I dump them in a big stockpot, with onions, garlic, celery, carrots, salt, pepper, and bay leaves. I use soup as a good excuse to clear out aromatic veggies that are a little past their prime. I had some baby bok choy and scallions that were a little sad, so I added them as well!
Cover it all with water and bring to a boil. Skim any fat that collects on the top. Then turn down to a mere simmer and let it cook overnight.
Now grab a big bowl and transfer as much of the bones etc. as you can with a set of tongs or a spider style strainer. When this cools enough to touch pick through and collect any meat that you want to add back to the soup and set aside.
Now strain the rest of the soup to remove all the bits and pieces. I usually take the strained broth and let it cool a bit before putting it in the fridge. By the next day, you’ll have a layer of fat that has risen to the top which can be easily peeled off and discarded.
Now you have a lovely broth to enrich gravies or use start a nice chicken noodle soup! Pour into containers and freeze for later.
