As I have might have mentioned a couple of times already it is soup season!
Yes we love soup in our house.
You know whats going into it.
you can pretty much throw just about anything into a soup.
The one thing that I use a lot of is chicken stock.
Again with this you can so easily make your own.
you know what exactly is going into the stock
You can use the crockpot and basically forget about for hours
Your get the most you can from the chicken
The house smells fab!
We had had a roast chicken dinner and when we were clearing up. G went to put the chicken carcass in the bin.
No I screamed I'm making stocking.
While this takes time, it doesn't take much work, you don't need to stand over it.
Each step takes very little time :)
What you'll Need
Chicken Carcass
celery stump and 2-3 celery sticks (leaves included)
large onion, cut in half (DO NOT PEEL)
half head of garlic (DO NOT PEEL)
2-3 bayleaves
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
peppercorns
Water
Throw the chicken carcass, celery, onion, garlic, peppercorns, bayleaves, and garlic.
add the apple cider vinegar and then over the chicken with water
I did forget my garlic, then 1 hour in I remembered and added :)
cook on low for minimum of 12 hours
I cooked my for 18 hours in total and let me tell you the house smelt amazing!
I removed a lot of the what was in the crockpot/slow cooker to make
I then poured the remaining into a large jug through a sieve.
This was left to cool.
I removed the thin layer of fat on the top of the stock.
I then poured the stock into muffin molds and ice cube trays and froze
I removed them from the molds and trays when frozen and put them in freezer bags.
So easy and I have homemade stock at hand :)
The molds are around 1/3 cup each and the ice cube sizes are almost 2 tablespoons.
I love add one of the cubes to potatoes or rice
