homemade broth

:)Hello,

Does anyone have a homemade chicken or beef broth receipe that can be used in post-surgery first two weeks? Canned is not working for me. Thanks

I live in Illinoins and costco makes a pretty good chicken Stock. This coming from a girl who doesn't like broth from a can or otherwise.

Swanson has both chicken and beef broths in large box containers. Just go down the Soup aisle of the store, you should find something. Last resort bullion cubes

I don't like canned now, so I suppose after surgery will be the same. I haven't made this yet, but sounds good to me.

An easy way to make homemade chicken broth is to get a roasted chicken from the store. Put the whole thing (skin, bones, drippings from the container) into a stock pot with a couple of ribs of celery, a couple of green onions and some spices (depending on how spicy the roasted chicken is you may not need much seasoning). Add Water to cover the chicken by about 3". Cook - bring the Water to a rolling boil uncovered then lower to a simmer. Once it is barely simmering, cover and cook for 30 minutes to an hour or longer. Put a colander into another stock pot and pour everything from the first pot into the second one. Remove the colander of chicken and veg, and in the first pot you will have broth.

I would recover the chicken from the 1st colander - separate the white from the dark and freeze in ziplocks for later use when you can eat chicken - you can even freeze it in 1 ounce servings if you really want to be prepared.

With the broth - cool it, put it in the fridge and let the fat rise. When the fat rises to the top, I strain it. I put it back on the stove, heat it and adjust the seasoning. I always put a little soy sauce in my chicken broth - but that's just me.

I would put a couple of day's worth of broth in the fridge - the rest I freeze. It is easy to freeze broth in a cupcake tin - spray the pan with a oil substitute spray (PAM) before you fill the indentations. Place in freezer and freeze hard. Once you have them frozen, remove pan from freezer and remove the frozen broth servings. Place in a gallon ziplock and you have indivdual servings easy to defrost.

Good luck after surgery. Broth was my go to drink the first month.

Thank you so much. I am making this for tonight's dinner and eating the broth and saving the chicken.

This is how I make homemade broth. Super-easy. I made it every other day when I came home. Delicious and soothing.

Ingredients:

1 carrot, peeled

2 ribs celery

1 small onion, peeled

small bunch of parsley

1.5 lb. of chicken - any part will do, cooked or raw

5-10 peppercorns

salt to taste (usually quite a lot)

Put everything in a pot. Add Water to cover. Simmer on low minimum 2 hours, max ? hours. Simmering on low will prevent froth from developing.

When done, you can just throw the whole pot into the fridge and ladle from it what you need as you need it.

Enjoy!
