Chicken Broth

I am going to be making that Chicken Pot pie I talked about last week. The recipe calls for a can of chicken broth. I have not bought canned or boxed chicken broth in a few years now. Way too much salt and not really any flavor.
When ever you bake a chicken, or if you happen to get the ones precooked at the store and you have eaten all but the skin and bones....SAVE them. Throw them in a pot with water to cover and gently cook for a few hours. Depending on the original flavor of the cooked chicken you will make a very rich and satisfying broth!
If you want added sustenance you can add a few chopped carrots, celery, onions, garlic to the pot as well.
After it is cooled portion it up in freezer bags and freeze. I have a stash in the freezer for soups, to cook rice rather than using water, or various recipes.
I pulled out a bag earlier to use for the Chicken Pot Pie. I decided to make some rice with part of it for lunch. I added a can of black beans and some rotel. I also made a batch of flour tortillas...first time...I'll talk about them in another post later.
