Recipe: Homemade Chicken Broth (Slow Cooker)

Once a month on the weekend is usually when I make my chicken broth.  I use quite a bit of it in my cooking, so it's worth my while to make-up a huge batch to freeze and store. 

We have roast chicken at least once a month, either from the grocery store already made, or for a Sunday dinner.  When we're done our feast, I throw the bones and whatever meat is left in our slow cooker, add some carrots, celery, onion (all sliced very big), add some Montreal Chicken spice, fill it with water, cover and turn it on low until the morning.

In the morning I put a huge pot in the sink, place our colander over top, then pour the whole slow cooker pot into this.  After it's strained I remove all the chicken meat from the colander and save it in ziploc bags, then place them in the freezer for chicken soup later and throw out the left over bones and veggies.  The broth in the pot is then saved and frozen as well.  Done!  Now I have enough broth for the month for all my cooking needs.

Enjoy!  Sarah

But of course, before I feel too accomplised I must remember this story ;o)
