"We love using convenient, store-bought chicken broth, but making your own is easier than you think and the full flavor is worth the effort. In this recipe, we use economical chicken leg quarters and simmer the stock long enough to develop an ultra-rich taste. Plus, there's no added sodium in the recipe - just salt to your personal preference. If you have two stockpots or large Dutch ovens, consider making two batches and freezing one - you'll be happy you did...."
