Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 lbs bone-in chicken (2 lbs chicken wings + 1 lb chicken breast)
  • 2 large yellow onions, diced (3 cups)
  • 4 medium carrots, sliced (2 cups)
  • 4 celery stalks, sliced (2 cups)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Broth: In a large stockpot, add chicken and cold water. Bring to a gentle simmer, skimming foam. Add herb bundle, garlic, and peppercorns. Simmer for 1 hour.
