Chicken Stock (Fond Blanc)

This post is also available in / Esta entrada también está disponible en ESPAÑOL (SPANISH)

We used this chicken stock recipe when our Guest Foodie, Edith Paiz, came to my kitchen to make Authentic Tortilla Soup. It is the base for any good sauce or soup, and it is worth the effort. This recipe makes a large amount, which you can freeze to use as needed.

Once you finished preparing your stock, put it in ice cube trays, and when they are frozen transfer the cubes to Ziploc bags. Each cube is about 1 oz, so they are easy to use when recipes call for specific amounts.  Also, we don’t use salt to make this broth. When you use it for a recipe, add salt and seasoning as needed.
