Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken carcass or bones
• 8 cups water
• 2 medium carrots
• 2 stalks celery stalks
• 1 large onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons parsley
• 1 whole lemon

Directions

Step 1

Begin by rinsing the chicken carcass or bones under cold water to remove any impurities. Pat them dry with a paper towel.

Step 2

Place the chicken bones in a large pot or Dutch oven. Cover them with 8 cups of water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.

Step 3

While the water is heating, peel and chop the carrots, celery, and onion into large chunks. Peel and crush the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Add the chopped vegetables, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, peppercorns, and salt to the pot with the chicken bones.

Step 5

Once the water reaches a simmer, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Allow the soup to simmer gently for about 3 to 4 hours. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface every 30 minutes.

Step 6

After the cooking time is up, remove the pot from heat and discard the chicken bones and vegetables using a slotted spoon.

Step 7

Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into another large pot or heatproof container to remove any remaining solids.

Step 8

Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt if necessary.

Step 9

Chop the parsley and add it to the strained broth. Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the soup and stir well.

Step 10

Serve hot. The soup can be enjoyed on its own or with cooked rice or noodles added for a heartier meal.
