One whole chicken (with bones)

2 stalks celery

1 bag carrots plus 5 single carrots

4 large onions

Salt and pepper to taste

2 fresh thyme sprigs (optional)

2 fresh rosemary sprigs (optional)

Instructies

Place chicken in the bottom of a large stock pot.

Roughly chop one stalk of celery, five single carrots and two of the onions. (Include the carrot skins, ends and any bits that are edible). Add these to the pot with the chicken and the sprigs of thyme and rosemary

Peel the remaining carrots and remove both ends. Place the ends and skins into the pot with the chicken and veggies. Chop the remaining carrots into bite-size pieces and place in large bowl, set aside

Remove both ends of the celery stalk and place into the pot with the chicken and veggies. Chop the remaining celery into bite size pieces and add into the large bowl with the carrots

Chop the two onions and add into the large bowl with the carrots and celery. Set aside

Fill the pot with water to completely cover the chicken and veggie scraps. Bring to a boil and cook for 1 hour. Remove the chicken and all chicken meat and set aside to cool for about 30 minutes.

Once cool remove the bones from the chicken meat. Add the bones and any other chicken scraps back into the pot. Add the chicken meat to the large bowl with the chopped carrots, celery and onion.

Continue to boil the broth for 2-3 hours. Then strain out the scraps and add the broth back to the pot along with the bowl of chopped carrots, celery, onion and chicken meat. Cook for 1 hour until the veggies are tender
