Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups of water
about 3 cups of chicken bones and skin (bones and skin from 1/4 chicken, approximately) with dark meat attached
1 large white onion or 2 medium/small ones, chunked
3 carrots, chopped into circles
3 stalks celery, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, whole
1 1/1-2 tsp. coarse sea salt
4 dashes black pepper
3 dashes cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add chicken pieces. Boil for about 2 minutes or until thawed (if using frozen chicken). Add vegetables and lower heat to medium low so that it's only slightly simmering. Add salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper. Stir occasionally. This recipe requires some time to cook to release the flavours of the vegetables. When meat is tender, you can remove the bones from the pot. Take the meat off of the bones (careful not to burn yourself) and put the bones back into the pot. Cut the meat into bite sized pieces. Put the meat in the fridge until soup is done to add back into the soup later. You'll know when the soup is done, it'll be fragrant and flavourful. It should take approximately half an hour. When it's done, remove the bones, skin, etc. and discard. Add meat back in. Serve as a side. Serves 5-6 people, depending on serving size. Left overs? Keeps well in the fridge for a week or so. The fat will rise to the top when cold, so you'll have to heat it up in a pot (not a microwave, for better health) before you eat it again. If you're not using organic chicken you'll want to discard the fat that floats to the top.
