Ingredients

2 sticks celery, cut into 4cm pieces

150g carrots, halved

1 onion, quartered

2 bay leaves

2 sprigs thyme

2 tsp black peppercorns

Bones from a roast chicken

Method

1
Put the chicken bones in a large saucepan, breaking them to fit them in the pan if necessary. Add 2 litres cold water – it should cover the bones by about a cm. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes, skimming off and discarding any scum that rises.
2
Add the celery, carrot, onion, bay leaves, thyme and peppercorns. Bring back to the boil, cover the pan and simmer very gently for 2 - 3 hours.
3
Strain through a sieve and eat straight away or cool and store in the fridge.
