ingredients

4 pounds chicken parts
12 cups water
1 large onion, quartered
2 carrots, cleaned, chopped
2 stalks celery with leaves, cut in 1-inch pieces
1 large leek, cleaned, cut in 1-inch pieces

directions

In large stockpot combine the chicken and water; bring to a boil.

Skim off foam that rises to surface; add onion, leek, carrots, celery, parsley, thyme, peppercorns and salt. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, skimming off any foam and fat occasionally, about 2 hours.

Line a colander with paper towel or double layer of cheesecloth; place over a large bowl. Strain the stock through colander, pressing the stock with a wooden spoon to extract juices; discard solids.

Refrigerate stock until fat rises to surface scrape off and discard fat. Or, cool and transfer to 1-cup freezer containers to freeze; remove fat when ready to use.
