For 6 Persons
Category: Soups
3 lb Chicken wings and backs; or
-other bones
1 md Veal knuckle; cracked
4 qt Water
3 lg Onions; peeled and cut in
-half
2 lg Carrots; scrubbed and

8 Parsley sprigs
8 lg Leavy celery ribs; broken
-into large pieces
1 ts Dried thyme
1 tb Salt
2 ts Freshly ground black pepper
1 Whole clove
Select a stockpot large enough to comfortably hold all the above
ingredients. Place the chicken, veal knuckle, and water in pot and bring to
a boil. Skim foam, and add all the other ingredients. Bring back to a boil
and reduce to the lowest possible heat; you want this to be barely
simmering. Continue cooking for about 2 l/2 hours, skimming occasionally as
necessary.
Strain the cooked stock through a damp cheesecloth - lined colander.
Discard all solids. Cool and refrigerate the stock. When fat has congealed
on top, remove and discard it.
