    Carcass of 3-4 pound chicken with some meat still attached, About 25 cups of water, 1 sweet onion halved with skin, 1 garlic bulb halved with skin, 1 teaspoon dried fennel seeds, 1 teaspoon Thyme, 1 teaspoon Rosemary, 1 teaspoon Peppercorns, ½ teaspoon whole cloves, 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • Cover and cook on medium high for about an hour. It should boil in about 20 minutes.
  • After the hour lower to a simmer and cook overnight. That's right, overnight. I simply put the burner on the lowest setting and woke up to this. . . It was at least 8 hours.
  • The next morning I shut off the heat and got my filtration system in order. I use a large strainer and the top of a cake keeper
  • Simply pour the entire content of the stock pot into the strainer and get your hands dirty. You need to fish through the "stuff" to find all the good pieces of chicken for the soup.
  • You could separate some of the broth to freeze for later use but I simply put the chicken I plucked out of the strainer back into the stock pot and added all the broth. At this point you can do anything you want with this broth and chicken.
  • Add both ingredients to the stock pot and bring to a boil. Cover and lower to a simmer. Cook for at least a half an hour and you get. . .
