Chicken broth in a slow cooker

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook chicken broth in a slow cooker? Prepare the chicken carcass by removing hairs and dividing it into desired pieces. You can generally buy individual parts of the carcass in the store, which are preferable for making broth. Rinse the chicken in water.

2. STEP 2

   

   If it is not important for you to have a large amount of fat, remove it from wherever you can. I also shortened the skin as much as possible. It can generally be cut off.

3. STEP 3

   

   You can pour water into the bowl and turn on the multicooker, covering it with a lid. It's good if you have the "broth" mode. If there is no such mode, select “soup” or follow the instructions for your device. In the meantime, we will prepare the remaining components. Wash the carrots and peel them. Rinse again and place the whole thing in the multicooker bowl.

4. STEP 4

   

   Remove the topmost skins from the onion without peeling the bottom ones. Rinse it well and cut off what you consider necessary, which can spoil both the appearance and taste of the finished product. I cut off the tops and butts. By the way, I then added a little more onion peel to the broth. But this is optional.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the onion in the multicooker bowl, add bay leaves (you can also add peppercorns). Cover the multicooker with a lid and set the cooking time according to the instructions for your appliance. For me it's 1.5 hours. Salt the broth to taste half an hour before the end of cooking.

6. STEP 6

   

   As soon as your assistant beeps, you can open the lid. The broth turned out just right. But when I took out the meat, all the scum, which we usually remove with a slotted spoon, rose to the top. Along with the meat, remove the vegetables and bay leaf.

7. STEP 7

   

   Therefore, I further strained the broth by lining a fine sieve with a double cloth napkin. This is how it turned out, transparent, bright and rich.

8. STEP 8

   

   Serve the broth with whatever you want. For example, I planned to just drink it. Therefore, in addition to spices, I only added a little green onion. A boiled egg, chopped chicken fillet, and so on will also go here. Bon appetit!

I’m just getting used to the slow cooker, so I decided to try making soup, or more accurately broth, in it. I found a recipe for chicken broth in a slow cooker and began to gain experience) For the broth, I specially bought a small chicken carcass weighing 750 g. I cut it into pieces, added a couple of small onions and carrots. Then I decided to add another clove of garlic for flavor. I did not add bay leaf to the chicken, nor did I add any spices. I needed the broth for my sick son. I poured 1.5 liters of water, as indicated in the recipe. The water is filtered, it seems to me important for the broth. I set the “soup” mode for 1.5 hours. It’s convenient; you don’t need to stand over the pan and regulate the process. After the end of the program, it turned out that half of the water had boiled away, so I added another half liter of water and brought it to a boil. I noticed that the coagulated protein was floating in the broth, but the author warned about this. Straining the broth is not a problem at all) By the way, the multicooker bowl was washed instantly, which made me very happy! And the broth turned out so beautiful, transparent, golden. Despite the modest size of the chicken, the broth is rich and fatty. The taste is very pleasant, delicate, and easy to drink. I liked cooking soup in a slow cooker, I will continue to experiment)

I made chicken broth in a slow cooker. I used half a chicken carcass for cooking. I cooked it in the “stew” mode for two hours. In principle, the broth and meat were ready after an hour of stewing, but I needed very soft boiled meat and a richer broth. And after two hours, the meat was easily separated from the bones and the broth turned out to be very rich in taste. The most delicious broth is made in a slow cooker! Thanks to the author for the recipe!
