DIY Chicken broth recipe.

I have used the store bought chicken broth, and have made and used DIY(do-it-yourself) chicken broth,to cook the same kind of meal and I realised that the taste of the food greatly depends on the quality of the broth used in the cooking. So I thought that I should blog the recipe for my DIY chicken broth for my readers. It tastes a lot better, the flavor is superb, and you will be in control of what goes into it. Very easy to make, just give it a try.

Ingredients:
1 whole chicken(preferably mature/ stewing chicken)
2knorr bouillon chicken cube or 2 1/2tsp Knorr chicken bouillon powder
3/4tsp dry thyme
1tsp curry
2bay leaves
1 1/2large onion chopped in big chunks
2 garlics, peeled and chopped
2 large carrots, cut in chunks
1 ripe jalapena pepper cut in big chunks
about 10cups of water or more if needed
 1tsp salt.

Method:
Wash, skin and cut up the chicken, making sure you remove all the visible fat. Put it into a large pot and add all the ingredients, stir to mix. Bring the mixture to boil, then lower the heat. Allow to cook at low heat for 2-3hours. Allow to cool. Use a strainer to separate the broth from the meat.

Shred the meat and incorporate into your meals, soups or use as desired. Store the broth in containers with lids and use as desired. If frozen, it can last up to 2months.

Enjoy!
