How to Make Homemade Stovetop Chicken Stock

1. Combine Ingredients

Place the chicken backbones, large onion wedges, celery rib pieces, carrot slices, halved head of garlic, parsley stems, turmeric, and salt into a large pot.

2. Cover with Water and Boil

Cover the ingredients with approximately 12 cups of water, making sure it rises about an inch above the ingredients, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

3. Simmer

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and allow it to gently simmer for about two hours, occasionally checking to ensure it's simmering correctly with small bubbles breaking the surface.

4. Cool and Strain

After two hours, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly before straining the stock through a sieve into a container, discarding the solids.
