Homemade Stock-Any kind

Take the biggest pan you have and fill with water- for chicken stock- add chicken pieces or whole chicken- we like white meat so I use bone in breasts for this. Sometimes I use legs or thighs and make the stock then give the meat to the puppies as a treat. Anyhoo, set the stove to medium and add a couple of celery stalks, a couple of carrots (clean but not peeled), onion (cut in half but not peeled) or you can use onion powder, garlic (to taste) or garlic powder, salt and pepper. Let simmer for several hours and then strain everything out. Remove the meat from the bones and discard and the veggies and bones. If you want vegetable stock just use the vegetables but more of them. So good and so easy. MUCH cheaper than buying canned or boxed stock.
