No store-bought broth can compare to the rich flavour, silky texture, andgolden colour of homemade. Using a slow cooker means there’s no checking and no stirring. For easy use, transfer the broth to mason jars and refrigerate up to 1 week or freeze up to 4 months. Use it in any recipe that calls for canned chicken broth, or drink a mug of the warm broth as a nice change from coffee or tea. Don’t have a slow cooker? Place all the ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the chicken and vegetables are tender, about 1 hour.
