Ingredients

  • 14 quarts water
  • 2 (5 pound) whole chickens, skinned and trimmed of fat
  • 4 pounds carrots, cut into chunks
  • 3 pounds celery, cut into chunks

Step 1
Combine water, chicken, carrots, celery, onions, leeks, sea salt, garlic, garlic powder, rosemary, dried parsley, and dried thyme in a large stock pot; partially cover pot with a lid. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until chicken is fully cooked and falling off the bone, about 2 hours.

Cook?s Note

When using frozen broth, either thaw it in the microwave or refrigerator, or put it directly into a pot and thaw it on the stovetop.
