INGREDIENTS:
3 pounds chicken backs and necks 3 quarts cold water 4 rips celery, coarsely chopped
6 carrots, unpeeled, sliced thick 2 yellow onions, peeled and quartered 8 black peppercorns



1 Place the chicken backs and necks in a soup pot and rinse with very hot tap water. Drain and add the cold water to the pot, along with the other ingredients. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2 hours. Be sure to skim the froth that forms when the pot first comes to a simmer.
2 The stock will taste a bit flat to you since it has no salt. Salt will be added when you use the stock in the preparation of soups, sauces, or stews.
