Chicken Broth

Today my Mom taught me and June bug how to make chicken broth. First we put wax paper on the counter and put the chicken on it. Then we washed the celery and cut the bottom off and cut it in half and put it in the pot. After that we put onions and garlic in then we put carrots in. Then we put thyme leaves,basil leaves,bay leaves and sea salt in. Then after that we put the chicken in the pot and filled the pot with water until the water completly covered the chicken. We cooked the chicken for three hours and we knew it was ready when the chicken started to fall off the bone. Then we put parsley in. We cooked it for ten minutes. When it was done we took the chicken out of the pot into a seprate bowl. Then we strained the broth so none of the vegtables would go in(the broth smelled really good). We filled the sink with water and put the bowl of broth in the sink then we put ice cubes around the bowl to cool the broth. After the broth cooled we measured it to two cups and poured it into containers and put them into the freezer. Then we started to pull all the chicken off of the bone(I found the wish bone) and put it in bags. We tasted the chicken which was really good!!! We got eight cups of chicken and twenty cups of broth. I had tons of fun!!!
