Making chicken broth from soup bones is as easy as adding the bones, salt, peppercorns, aromatic vegetables like onions, carrots, celery, and any herbs or flavorings of your choice to water and simmering low and slow over the stovetop or in the slow cooker for hours. Chicken broth makes a fabulous base for not only chicken soup, but also for braising meats and vegetables, making sauces or gravies, and forming the base for most soups.
