Super simple chicken broth
By Erin Wainwright on January 29, 2020 in Food, Recipes
One of my favourite things to eat in winter is soup. I can’t get enough of the stuff. A few years ago my sister told me that her mother-in-law made the greatest soup broth using only a few ingredients. She does hers on the stove for about 4 hours which doesn’t work for me. I needed something that I could make and walk away from, so I adapted the recipe for my slow cooker. I have used this recipe over and over again and it never fails to be amazing.
Super simple chicken broth
The easiest, cheapest and most delicious chicken broth you'll ever make!
Equipment
- slow cooker
Ingredients
- chicken bones with or without meat Any amount. Can be frozen
- 1 onion peeled and quartered
- 2 carrots washed and cut into chunks
- ¼ cup kosher salt or to taste
- 16 cups water or whatever amount you need to fill your slow cooker.
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to your slow cooker and cook on low for 24 hours. You can also do this on the stove with a large pot for 4 hours.
- After 24 hours use a colander and a large bowl and strain the broth through the colander into the bowl. Be careful as it will be quite hot! Put whatever the colander catches into the compost.
- That's it! You now have a delicious broth to use in soups, pastas and much more! It will stay good for about a week in the fridge or you can portion it and freeze it to use for later.
Notes
If you have a smaller slow cooker and the flavour is a bit intense you can add water to the broth after you strain it.
