- After you have a nice dinner of roast chicken, remove meat from carcass.
- Put the carcass into a large crock pot and fill with water. Simmer overnight on low. You can throw in any veggies in to flavor the broth...celery, onion, carrot, etc.
- In the morning strain broth and pull any meat off the bones to put in your soup and discard soggy veggies.
- Put broth in the fridge, when it cools you can skim off the fat.
- Now it is ready to use in your soup recipe!

I have always wanted to make my own broth or stock, but always thought it was way too difficult. This looks really simple! Plus, it's a more healthy option because I know exactly what's going in it. I don't have to worry about sodium levels or preservatives. Thanks for linking up!!! :)
I like this recipe. Thank you so much!
I just happened upon your blog through Foodie Blogroll! You could make your broth even one step easier: cook the whole chicken in the crockpot! I just thunk a bird in the pot, put the lid on and cook it for 8 hours on low. It makes its own lovely juices and the meat falls off the bone. I take out all the meat and continue on with your recipe (but I add a splash of vinegar to soften the bones and extract all the calcium).
I've never made chicken broth/stock in the crockpot before! I'll definitely have to give this a try.
How easy is this?! I have always felt a little guilty about the amount of meat left on a carcass after having rotisserie chicken for dinner. This is an excellent way to ensure that nothing goes to waste. Thanks for sharing. I love crockpot recipes.
