Don't get me wrong – I use chicken stock cubes all the time. But sometimes it is really nice to make your own stock. I buy a whole chicken, cut off legs and breast and make a nice dinner out of them. The rest of the bones, plus the wings I use for the stock. I used to follow recipes religiously when I first started making stock, but now I just use what's at hand. In the most recent one, I softened some onion, leek, carrots, celery in olive oil with fresh thyme and rosemary plus a couple of bay leaves and black pepper corns. I then added the chicken, water and parsley, and let it simmer for a couple of hours. It particularly makes a difference when making clear soups/broths. And sometimes I use it as a sauce base, seriously reduced.
