Directions
- Place the chicken, carrots, and parsley in a large stockpot and cover with water. ≈ 3 min
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 4 hours, or until the meat is easily pulled away from the bones.
- Strain the broth into another saucepan and allow it to cool.
- Place it in the refrigerator for 24 hours: the fat will rise and solidify on the surface. Remove it.
- If you wish, you can remove the meat from the bones to add it back to the soup, or to make chicken tacos, making sure to remove all the bones. ≈ 3 min
