Homemade Chicken Broth

How to prepare a chicken broth at home 

A homemade broth is for me a kind of luxury. It is perhaps the  recipe with chicken   that we take the most at home, either on a rainy day, as a quality first or as a perfect dinner to take on the sofa and watch a chapter of your favorite Netflix series.

It is undoubtedly a tasty restorative, it even serves as a resource to enrich our preparations in the kitchen. Do not think with this that I am talking about a difficult recipe with rare ingredients, not at all.

It is actually a super simple and traditional recipe that equals the classic roast chicken .  There is nothing special apart from the fact of enjoying a comforting homemade dish.

Preparation of chicken soup

1. We put all the ingredients in a pot and cover it with the water. We have two options when considering making a good homemade chicken broth.
2. We can use a traditional casserole or opt for modernity and use a fast pot or express pot. So we save a little time.
3. If we use a fast pot we will let it cook at 3, once it rises to the second ring, for 20 minutes. We turn off and let it cool until it can be opened.
4. If we opt for the traditional method. We cook all the ingredients in a saucepan for an hour and a half or two hours.
5. Once the broth is ready we strain it and let it cool. Once it is very cold it will be when we can remove the fat that will have formed on its surface.
6. This is a fairly light and low-fat broth, so we could delete this step.
7. We can reserve the chicken meat for another preparation.
8. Also use it crumbled inside the broth accompanied by some thin noodles in the form of soup.
