I have chicken quarter legs deboned sa Farmers - Bulakena Chicken.
Use the deboned chicken for chicken Teriyaki/Wellington; bones for chicken soup/stock. 

how long pwede tumagal sa ref yung homemade broth? TIA! 

Freeze 1cup per ziplock.  Basta frozen, you can keep for long.

^ i agree, umaabot yata ng 3-6 months ang soup stocks when frozen properly.

this is my go to recipe for homemade broth:

chicken bones (good thing i can buy chicken bones for S$1-2 lang, about 30-50pesos)
carrots
celery
bay leaves
thyme/parsley/rosemary
corn cob
crushed garlic
onion bulb
salt & pepper

[aquacharly]

^ same recipe I use, but no corn cob. 
Do you use a stock pot, uncovered?
How long do you make it simmer? 

[kookie420]

nilalagyan ko lang corn cob kasi mahilig daughter ko hehe i cover it for the first part until it boils then uncovered na. about 30 minutes ko pinapa simmer

A Polish soup base I learned from my MIL:

1lb chicken
Carrots
Whole onion
Parsley root or Parsnip
Bay leaf
Whole peppercorn

Its what i always use when i make any kind of Polish food.

I buy the chicken "soup packs" from the supermarket, it's basically the carcass of the chicken, neck, backbone and sometimes thighs.

I trim off excess fat/skin (ie. the butt) and submerge in cold water then bring the whole thing up to a boil. I then skim off the scum for the first 15 mins. Once that's done I transfer everything to a crockpot and let it simmer on low setting for 3 hours. Midway thru I put in the aromatics - herbs, carrots, onions, garlic, celery and whole black pepper corns. I don't add salt since I usually make the stop for my infant daughter.

My mom has suggested bringing the pot to a boil, remove the scum and then dump out the water. Fill the pot again and continue to make the stock. It makes a much clearer stock daw. I have yet to try.

For pork broth - I use spareribs. My mom uses pork tenderloin, a whole kilo to make about 2-3 cups worth of soup. Expensive but it's very good. She made it everyday for me during my pregnancy. We drink it on its own, not to be used in cooking.

For beef - either beef shank. My mom uses kalitiran to make a super concentrated beef stock.

For all my stocks - I put it in the ref overnight to allow the fat to congeal on top. I remove the fat before heating up the soup again. You'll be surprised how much fat there is!

I don't let any soup stock stay in the ref for more than a week.

I attended a short cooking class and the chef gave us good advice in making vegetable stock. Just keep all the parts of the veggies that you don't use and freeze them until you have a good amount! The best thing about this is that it's "free"!

I save the potato and carrot peelings, hard stems of green leaves (kale, chard..etc), outer layers of onions, cabbage, hard stems of cruciferous veggies (cauliflower and brocolli)

I just dump everything in a slow cooker and cook for 4 - 6 hours and strain it. All natural goodness!

I've been wanting to make bone broth because I read about its nutritional benefits, and read that it can even heal dental cavities. So I'm looking for a place here in QC that sells bones but no success yet. If any of you know where I could get them, please post here

[Princess_Chill]

maganda sis is kausapin mo suki mo na binibilhan mo ng mear sa palengke then magpatabi ka nalang ng bones..ako ganoon ginagawa ko para magawa ng stock...

same recipe din from other sisses wala din nga hehe...lagay mo sa ziplock then freeze..tatagal siya and can be used in different recipes! sarap lalo pag luto ng misua and noodles

[beachgirl]

^ thanks sis! yun din sabi ng friend ko. pwede din daw sa groceries or meat shops to ask for "soup bones". i even read in one site (although sa states ito) you could ask for "dog bones".

[khriseeee]

^any butcher will have bones - sometimes it's not on display lang nga so you may need to ask. beef knee caps are also good to make soup - but you need to simmer for a long time and skim skim skim the fat!

Shopwise have them sis, yung buto-buto for broths already packed and frozen.

Just throw them on a pot with garlic, onions, celery, carrots, whole peppers and some salt, let them cool once done and freeze what you can't use. That should be good for the next month.

Favorite broth ko is veggie broth.

Place some Shiitake Mushrooms in  warm water for 20 minutes till they soften.
Do not throw the water away and slice the mushrooms the way you want them.
Boil the mushrooms in the water with garlic, onions and celery. Add some condiments to adjust taste.
This should have a deep beefy flavor, should be done in less than an hour and saves gas!

Hello sissies. May I ask what pot to use in making homemade broth and where to buy? I tried making one using regular pot kaso lakas mag-evaporate ng liquid e.

[crzysxycl]

nice thread.. ayaw ko na rin gumamit ng bullion when cooking.

[beachgirl]

^^ the recipes i've seen usually use a slow cooker but i use our pressure cooker.
