Chicken Stock Soup & Chicken Pie

Chicken Stock

Today i have started one of my favorite winter dishes i like to make. It takes a bit of effort in some ways, but its good as it lasts for lots of meals at a good price range.

It begins with buying a chicken and making some chicken stock. Here is the first stage. I will use the cooked chicken later in a pie.

So all here it is bubbling away, all i have in here is a whole chicken, a couple of carrots, celery, salt and pepper and some left over garlic shallots which i bought last week that need to be used up. If i didn't have these i would have just whacked in a couple of garlic cloves.

So i will let this cook for a couple of hours and then just turn it off :) let it sit. I probably wont use the stock or the chicken until tomorrow. See how the day goes. mmmmm
