Instructions
Combine the chicken and water in a stockpot and bring to a slow simmer. Skim the stock often for scum in the first 30 minutes. Then add the veggies and bouquet garni and simmer, uncovered, for an additional 3 hours. Add cold water as it evaporates from the pot. Strain into fridge or freezer container and allow to cool before putting in the refrigerator or freezer.
