There’s nothing like home made chicken broth, that healer of all things. Whenever I have a roast chicken, I save the carcass and bones to make broth or stock.
I normally make mine on the gas stove – with two flame reducers under the burner to keep the pan really low. I don’t like leaving it, so make sure I’m going to be home all day.
Today, I thought I’d try slow cooking in the TM6 with the Blade Cover. I couldn’t find a recipe on Cookidoo for chicken broth, so created my own. I used some of it to make a yummy gravy to go with my roast chicken dinner tonight.
Since this recipe uses the Slow Cooker mode, it is only designed for the TM5 and TM6. The bowl is very full.
Slow Cooked Chicken Broth
Author: The Bush Gourmand
Recipe type: Soup Base TM6 only
: Australian
Use left over cooked chicken carcass and bones to make a super delicious broth or a stock base for soups and sauces.
Ingredients
- 1 cooked chicken carcass plus wing bones and drumstick bones, any juices left over
- Or, use 4 or 5 large chicken wings
- 2 carrots, chopped roughly
- 2 sticks celery, chopped roughly
- 1 onion, chopped roughly
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 bay leaf
- 4 peppercorns
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1200 - 1400g water
Method
- Place Blade Cover over blades - high side over high blades and make sure it's clicked in properly.
- Add chicken, vegetables, garlic, peppercorns, vinegar and bay leaf plus enough water to cover everything, ensuring the bowl isn't too full, at least 10cm below the rim.
- Choose slow cooker mode, 80c for between 4 and 8 hours. I like to cook all day or all night, so prefer 8 hours.
- Strain through a sieve into a large bowl and discard bones and vegetables.
- Once cool, broth can be placed in ziploack bags and frozen.
- It will keep for up to 4 days in the fridge. Bring back to the boil to use.
Notes
Use to make soup, sauces and gravies. Also as a liquid stock base for casseroles and stews.
