“This recipe is for the simple broth, I like to leave the skins on because they infuse a lot of flavour, for a healthier version, remove the skin before cooking. You can enrich it with other chicken parts like necks, hearts, or gizzards. Also vegetables like zucchini, some small pasta or even rice.”
