Google is throwing up some recipes that are just too damn fancy for me.

Just want to know how to make a basic chicken broth for making a chicken and vegetable soup in the slow cooker. Anyone?

Easy peesy...

Roast a chicken, then have a Sunday roast, then pick off as much meat as possible from the carcass and boil it for an hour, season to taste, 5 mins before you serve, pop the picked meat back in, add noodles and sweet corn, hey presto.

Chicken bones, onion, carrot, celery, bouquet garni (Thyme, Tarragon, Sage), couple of cloves of garlic and salt and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 hours and strain through muslin.

Boil the carcass not the meat as the meat will become v dry if over cooked

Think I would stick with stock cubes

I can't claim it as mine Jamie Oliver says....

Pop a chicken in a slow cooker pour over a tin of coconut milk and a jar or red thai paste and dice up a butternut squash. .low heat for 8h or high for 4h

When done shred the chicken and blend the rest add some of the chicken to the broth and enjoy. ..

Yeah think I'll have to see what's in Asda. Wasn't going to buy a whole chicken, was just going to buy chicken breast and add that to a broth.

So you can buy broth ready made can you and this would be by the oxo and stuff in Asda would it?

It may be elsewhere in store, my local Asda have a tendency oscillate between having the plastic pouches of chicken stock in with the fresh meat or in with the dehydrated stock. But on a really annoying day they may have moved them to a totally unrelated aisle end location. I guess making locating what you went in for far more difficult must increase the sales of all the impulse purchase stuff.

If your buying stock cubes or in a jar so to speak, check the salt content as some of the 'popular' ones are quite heavy with it..

Cook from scratch, see above or visit BBC Good Food etc. for other recipes.

If you haven't got that much time, or a chicken carcass, I recommend Knorr Stock Pots and typically use one meat plus one vegetable pot when making casseroles.

You want a cockerel really.

Boil it with stock veg and some herbs. Strain the veg out. Pick the meat off the carcase and sling that back in the pan with the broth. Add some fresh veg and pearl barley (or cubes of potato). Boil it until the barley or spud is cooked. You will need lots of salt at this juncture.

Eat.

Ready made stuff is usually in the meat fridge I'm think. Just ask.
