Method

1. Put the chicken into a pan, with all of the other ingredients and simmer gently for one hour and 30 minutes, skimming any scum that rises to the surface.

2. Strain the broth through a fine sieve and allow to cool to room temperature. Chill in the fridge for 20 minutes, then skim off the fat from the top of the broth. Warm up the broth as required, and serve.
