Yep, just boil a chicken carcass! I usually roast a chicken and we eat half for dinner one night, then pick it clean and boil the carcass for stock, and make soup using the stock and the rest of the chicken the next day! You can throw onions/carrots/celery/bay leaves in when you boil it too.

I think it has more true flavor and less of a salty taste.

I like Kitchen Basics brand for stock, they have an unsalted one that is quite good.

I make stock when I've roasted a chicken. I just put it in a pot with an onion, carrot and celery and I put it on the stove at a very low boil.

i used to, but it's so cheap to buy. maybe one day when we have more freezer space!

we have when we have enough bones/parts. we just use the bones & insides and throw in whatever veggies we have. then strain.

I use this recipe: http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/2012/01/24/recipe-overnight-chicken-stock-in-the-crock-pot/
and it is awesome. I just put my chicken bones/fat, etc. in the crockpot and let it cook overnight. Easy peasy. I also use her recipe for crockpot chicken and it is really good, too.

Yes – we make our own chicken stock, veggie stock, shrimp stock and sometimes beef stock (we rarely use beef stock, so I don’t make it very often).

When I’m cooking, veggie scraps either get saved in the freezer or composted and when I have a full freezer bag of veggie odds and ends I throw them in a pot with a whole chicken (skin removed for lower fat content), some S&P and herbs. A few hours later, strain the stock, save the meat and you’ve got tons of chicken stock! Costs about $5-7 total, especially if you can get whole chicken on sale.

No, I have before, but it's so cheap and easy to buy I usually give in to convenience.

After I roast a chicken and pick it clean, if I'm not ready to make the stock yet, I stick that baby in the freezer. Whenever I wanna make a stock, I pull it the carcass out of the freezer, throw it in the Dutch oven, pour some water in there, sometimes with extra aromatics, sometimes not. So much nutrition in chicken stock, and so delicious!

I usually use the stock to make other soups, or I add some other stuff (mushrooms, soy sauce, Korean anchovies, kelp, onions, garlic) to make Korean soups or ramen, etc. YUM!

Sometimes, but I also buy the Kirkland or kitchen basics brands!

Yup, but I do use canned as well. But if I'm making chicken soup I always make my own broth!

I just barely made some beef broth. I boiled the bones for 48 hours. Holy cow it is good stuff!!
