Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken (, meat removed so you're only left with bones and skin)
- 2 ribs celery (, with leaves, cut into chunks)
- 2 medium carrots (, cut into chunks)
- 2 medium onions (, cut into chunks)
- 2 bay leaves
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 10 whole peppercorns
- 8 cups cold water
- 2 Tablespoons Better than bouillon chicken paste* (, or 6 chicken bouillon cubes )
Instructions
- Place rotisserie chicken, vegetables, spices and water into a large soup pot.
- Slowly bring to a boil over medium heat. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Reduce heat, cover and simmer on low heat for at least 2 hours or longer.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Strain stock through a fine sieve strainer, discarding all vegetables and seasonings so you are only left with the stock. Season with chicken boullion paste, to taste.
- Store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Skim off the fat that rises to the top. If not using within a few days, freeze for up to 3 months.
