Best Leftover Broth

Kate Jepsen

I’ve grown up with the saying “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without!”  Making leftover broth and using it in place of canned broth, makes me feel like I’m using every bit of what we have and it is so much yummier too!

• 1 chicken or turkey carcass
• 2 large onions, peeled and cut into wedges
• 2 carrots, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 2 ribs celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 4 cloves garlic, smashed
• 2 bay leaves
• 15 whole peppercorns
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 12 cups water

Boil, uncovered for several hours, until liquid has reduced and color is a rich golden color. Freeze in 2 cup quantities.
