A classic chicken broth is prepared from a whole chicken, but can be prepared from less expensive ingredients such as chicken backs and necks. My mother taught me a few tricks to a clear, flavorful broth. First the ingredients must be cooked at very slowly at a slow simmer — if the soup boils too fast, it may become cloudy. The other trick is to use a little frozen or canned broth to start off the flavors.
