2 roasted chicken carcasses, preferably from my Roasted Chicken with Herbed butter recipe (but any chicken carcass will work)
4 quarts water
4 ribs of celery, roughly chopped
2 carrots, roughly chopped
1 large white onion, quartered
8-10 sprigs fresh thyme
2 fresh rosemary spears
2 dried chipotle chili peppers
2-3 tablespoons salt
1-2 teaspoons black pepper

1
Place the chicken carcasses in a 2-gallon stock pot and cover with water
2
Bring to a boil, and add the celery, carrots, onion, cilantro, herbs, chilies, 1 T of salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and simmer for at least 45 minutes. Be sure to add water to keep the chicken covered.
3
Once chicken is cooked, and falling off the bone, strain the broth. Reserve the chicken to make chicken noodle soup!
4
Return the broth to the pot and taste. Adjust salt and pepper to taste (you will probably need at least 1 more T of salt, but your tastebuds will tell you).
5
Use the broth in your favorite dish, or boil to reduce by half and freeze. To use, defrost and dilute with an equal part of water.
