Chicken broth is easy to make; simply put the carcass from a previous whole chicken meal into a large soup pot, fill with water until the carcass is about 3/4 covered, bring to a rolling boil and reduce to simmer for 3-4 hours. Remove the carcass, skim off the top and strain through a fine sieve.

This recipe should make approximately 12 – 250ml mason jars; tie with bakers string and a disposable spoon. I purchased these cute wooden ones from a party store but you could use plastic as well. Ensure the jars and lids are sterilized before filling and seal by hand tightening once you fill each jar about 1-2cm from the rim with hot soup. The lids will make a slight popping sound once they seal. You can fill larger family size jars to reheat as well. These can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days for best results.
