Right now, I throw an entire chicken in water, add celery, onions, carrots, salt and pepper, and boil until the marrow is seeping out of the bones. I strain the chicken and vegies out, and the liquid left is broth. I use the chicken in soups, sandwiches and salads, and the vegies in soup.

I also add poultry seasoning and a couple of cloves of garlic. After I strain the broth and freeze it, and pull all the meat off the bones that I can (leaving the back, wings, and neck -- I hate to bother with the meat on them), I throw the bones back into the pot with the veggies again, and fill it back up with water. Add a little more seasoning, maybe some more fresh onion for flavor, and 1tsp or so of apple cider vinegar to pull more gelatin out of the bones. I boil that all again for more broth.
