Davin’s Homemade Chicken Broth

Homemade chicken broth is the base that infuses this soup with a hearty depth of flavor. Made from scratch with love, it’s a game-changer for soup recipes and a versatile base for countless dishes.

• Tip: Making broth at home also means you control the ingredients—no additives or preservatives—just pure, wholesome goodness.

• Bones from 1 rotisserie chicken
• 2-3 carrots, roughly chopped
• 1 onion, quartered
• 2-3 celery stalks, roughly chopped
• 1-2 bay leaves

• 8-10 cups water (enough to cover ingredients)

1. Place the chicken bones, carrots, onion, celery, and bay leaves in a large pot.
2. Add enough water to cover everything, about 8-10 cups.
3. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low.
4. Simmer for 2-3 hours, skimming off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and continue simmering for another 15-30 minutes.
6. Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or another pot, discarding the solids.
7. Let the broth cool slightly before storing or using.
