Notes: Making this homemade chicken broth is simple and adds deep flavor to soups or sauces. Nothing makes soup taste better than fresh homemade chicken broth.
What’s the difference between chicken stock and chicken broth? Chicken broth is when you simmer with the meat still on the bones. Chicken stock is simmering just the chicken carcass (bones) and simmer it for longer time. Chicken stock tends to have a richer flavor, due to the gelatin released by long-simmering bones. I use chicken stock just as I would broth.
P.S. You can use your crock pot for this recipe; see direction below.
