Ingredients

4-5 chicken necks and wings
about 4 quarts of water
Optional flavor boosters:
1 bay leaf
1-2 carrots, roughly chopped
Seasonings (to taste):
Salt and pepper
Onion powder (about 1 tsp.)
Garlic powder (about 1 tsp)
2 chicken bouillon cubes

Instructions

  1. Place the chicken pieces in a large pot and cover with water. Add optional veggies and bay leaf if you have them.
  2. Sprinkle in seasonings and bouillon.
  3. Cover and simmer gently for 2–5 hours, depending on when you remember it. ;-)
  4. Take out the chicken pieces.
  5. Strain the broth into a clean pot or bowl and let it cool.
  6. Refrigerate until the fat rises to the top and remove it.
  7. Pick any meat from the chicken pieces and return it to the broth. Discard bones.
  8. When reheating or serving, taste and add more salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, or bouillon if needed.

Notes

This recipe is an easy way to use leftover food items. If I have a bay leaf or a couple of carrots on hand, I will throw them in.

This is a perfect starter soup — add noodles, rice, veggies, dumplings, or leftovers to turn it into dinner!
