Basic Chicken Stock

1. Combine all the ingredients in a stock pot. Bring water to a boil then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour, periodically skimming foam off the top as it rises.

2. After 1 hour remove the chicken and continue cooking the stock for 2 more hours.

3. Strain the stock through a colander into a large bowl to remove the vegetables. Let cool, then refrigerate. Fat will rise to the surface and coagulate for easy removal.
