The leftovers

I love making my own chicken and veggie broth. It's so easy, tastes good, and is so much better for you.

chicken bones

2 carrots, peeled and roughly chopped

2 stalks celery, roughly chopped

1 onion, roughly chopped

other veggies: zucchini, tomatoes, garlic cloves minced, etc.

basil, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, bay leaves, others as desired

water

large pot

1. Combine all items in a big pot and fill with water. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 2-3 hours. Taste and add spices as needed.

2. Drain out the veggies and cool the broth.

3. Freeze in 1 or 2 cup servings in baggies and lay on a cookie sheet to freeze.
