The Basic Broth

Chicken or Vegetable broth is something that is used in so many recipes. You can get it in tetrapaks or cans at your local grocery store but i prefer to make it at home. I generally make it in bulk and freeze 1 cup ziploc bags (since they store flat and don't take up too much room in the freezer) of it. Doing this will save you a lot of time and of course, it's much healthier to make it yourself than buying it at the store.

Ingredients:

500 grams Chicken bones

Salt

Pepper

1 tsp Garlic paste/finely chopped garlic

Vegetables (onion, carrot, celery or any ones you prefer)

Parsley (optional)

Put chicken bones in a stock pot and cover with cold water. Add garlic paste, salt and pepper and the vegetables. Bring to a boil and decrease the heat. Let the stock simmer for a few hours, stirring after every 30 mins of so.

Remove bones and vegetables by draining the stock. Use right away or cool and freeze for further use.
