At first I thought, why make your own, when you can buy it. Trust me, nothing beats the flavor of homemade stock. I use in soups and any recipe that calls for chicken stock.

Instructions

1

Place the chicken, onions, carrots, celery, parsnips, parsley, thyme, dill, garlic, and seasonings in a 16 to 20-quart stockpot. Add 7 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, for 4 hours. Strain the entire contents of the pot through a colander and discard the solids. Chill the stock overnight.

You may need to split in two different soup pots. The next day, remove the surface fat. Use immediately or pack in containers and freeze for up to 4 months.
