Easy Homemade Chicken Broth

leftover chicken (aka carcass) with excess fat removed (our crockpot “fautisserie” chicken works great!)

ribs celery, if they have leaves on- don’t cut them off!

carrots or a handful of baby carrots

of a large onion, or 1/2 of a smaller one

garlic, smashed with a knife (see what I mean, here)

peppercorns

heaping tablespoon kosher salt

Herbs:  fresh sprigs of parsley, thyme, and a bay leaf.  Rosemary and sage also good.

OR use dried herbs.  I use 2 teaspoons each of sage, rosemary, and thyme, and also a handful of fresh parsley.
