Make Your Own Chicken Stock

Ingredients:
1 chicken carcass (I made Chipotle Orange Chicken; used the carcass after we dined on the meat)
3 quarts cold water
1 onion, halved
4 carrots, cut into 2 inch pieces
10 cloves garlic, no need to peel
¼ cup parsley, finely chopped
10 sprigs fresh thyme
5 celery tops (the leaves and ribs from the inside of a bunch of celery)
2 bay leaves

Directions:
Place the chicken carcass in a large stockpot with the water
Bring pot to a boil and then reduce to a simmer
Meanwhile, place onion, carrot and garlic cloves on a parchment lined baking sheet
Roast at 400° for one hour
Add roasted vegetables to stock, then add parsley, thyme, celery and bay leaves
Simmer stock one more hour then cool and strain into glass mason jars
Drink alone or use for soups and sauces
