Who doesn't know how to make chicken broth? Well a vegetarian may not... I was vegan for 14 years (and pescetarian for another 4) and I thought I knew the basics, but didn't realize what type to use, or how nutritious and tasty it could make my dishes.
Now that I'm practicing a more Paleo lifestyle, I still don't eat much chicken, so this is a great way to vary my animal nutrition without having to eat it. Boy does it make mash potatoes and soups sooooo much better!
1 Whole Organic Chicken, or just pieces (but be sure it's bone in)
8-12 cups Water (need to cover what ever sized chicken you have)
2 tsp. Sea Salt
Optional:
1-2 Carrots, chunked
1-2 Celery or celery root,chunked
1 Onion, leave peel on and chop
1 cup Italian Parsley, stems too!
2 Cloves Garlic, unpeeled
2 Bay leaves
(Optional)Other Fresh Herbs/Spices of choice (like thyme, peppercorns, paprika, basil...)

Buy the best Organic Chicken you can. Whole foods has levels of quality for your choosing. If you know a local farmer, that's always optimal.
The quality of your chicken becomes the quality of your meal which becomes your blood and that in turn makes the quality of your health. Please choose wisely and try not to have $money play too big of a factor.
Pay now or pay later as they say...

Place all in a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil.
Then cover and simmer for 1 hour.
The chicken should be falling off the bone and very tender. Gently take out your chicken for use in an other dish
~and strain your vegetables, if using.
Freeze or use in the next 4-5 days for a rich and flavorful addition to your soup, etc.
