Now that you have picked that carcass clean, you can roast the bones, prepare your mire poix (carrots, celery, and onions–a little garlic never hurt too), hang your sachet d’epices (parsley stems, whole cloves, peppercorns, thyme, and a bay leaf in a cheese cloth-sack) from your biggest stock pot, add water, and simmer all the ingredients for hours! Sound like a lot of work? Don’t worry!

If your carcass is actually on its way to the landfill right now along with your skinny-pants, you can substitute a good stock straight from the store for this one, and as usual, we recommend Savory Choice.
