Kelly's Yummy Chicken Broth

Ingredients

3-4 stalks celery

1 onion

1 sweet potato

2-3 carrots

package of chicken wings

garlic

black peppercorns

bayleaf

thyme

rosemary

about 8 - 10 cups of water

Directions

1.) Chop vegetables into large chunks (about 2 inches).

2.) Spray a large stew pot with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium. Add celery, onion, sweet potato, carrots, chicken and garlic to pot. Saute about 5 - 10 minutes until onion is lightly browned.

3.) Add water to pot so it reaches about 3 inches from the top. Add peppercorns, bayleaf, thyme, and rosemary.

4.) Simmer for about 2 - 2 1/2 hours.

5.) Strain off liquid and pour into a large bowl or container and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to cool down. Refrigerate overnight. In the morning, skim off the fat that has risen to the top.

6.) Pour liquid into individual small plastic containers for easy access after surgery. So much better tasting than store-bought broth! Enjoy!
