Title: Chicken Broth
Categories:
Yield: 4 Servings
Cut up a chicken into small pieces an put it in a
deep earthen dish, adding a quart of cold water,
and set it over a boiling kettle. Cover closely
and let it steam several hours until the meat of
the chicken has become very tender, after which
strain off the broth and let it stand over night.
Skim off all fat in the morning and pour the broth
into a bowl. Into the dish in which the broth was
made put one third of a teacupful of rice in a
teacupful of cold water, and steam as before until
the rice is soft; then pour in the broth and steam
an hour or two longer.
Or: Put in a stock pot two pounds of lean beef,
two pounds of lean veal, a large and tender fowl,
two tablespoonfuls of salt and two gallons cold
water; set on the fire, start slowly, and while
boiling scum well; add two carrots, an onion with
three cloves in it, two stalks of celery and two
leeks and parsley roots tied together; let all
boil slowly for five hours, adding at times a
little water to replace the evaporation. When the
fowl is done, take it off and keep for further
use; then skim the fat and strain the broth
through a wet napkin into a saucepan and keep
warm.
