Chicken Broth
One pot of broth, six months of soup bases.
A classic, warming, perfectly transparent broth — the foundation for soups and all sauces. Can be stored in the freezer for up to 6 months; if you make a concentrate, you can reduce storage space significantly.
Freezer notes
Can you freeze Chicken Broth?
Yes — Chicken Broth freezes well: freeze it cooked, it keeps up to 6 months in the freezer, about 4 days in the fridge.
How to freeze Chicken Broth
Cool the strained broth completely, then freeze flat in bags or in an ice-cube tray for small portions - up to 6 months.
How to reheat Chicken Broth
Thaw in the fridge or drop the frozen block straight into a pot and simmer gently until melted and hot.
The one thing a label can't tell you is when you froze it. Label it properly — or let Expireless hold the date for you.
Ingredients
- 1 pcs chicken carcass
- 200 g carrots
- 200 g onion
- 3 l water
- 3 pcs eggs
- 2 cloves garlic
Method
- Rinse the chicken carcass and cut it into pieces. Add coarsely chopped carrots and onion, and bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, skim the foam, reduce the heat, and simmer gently for about 2 hours.
- Once the broth is done, strain everything out, cool it slightly, and clarify it: beat the egg whites with the shell, pour into the warm broth, and bring back to a gentle boil. The whites will bind the cloudiness and rise to the surface.
- Strain the clarified broth through a fine sieve or cheesecloth and let it cool completely. Skim off all the fat from the surface — easiest done once fully cold. Freeze in portions.
Equipment
- large pot
- fine sieve or cheesecloth
