Homemade Chicken Stock
by Swanson Health
Prepare to be impressed… homemade chicken stock is easier to make than you think! It’s a great use for the leftover parts of roasted chicken, and it’s an amazing alternative to chemical-filled chicken stock from the store. Plus, you can freeze it for convenient future use! This stock can be used as a flavorful base for all of your favorite recipes.
This flavorful chicken stock will be a great base for all of my favorite soup recipes this winter.— Jenna M.
