Preparation

Step 1
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place the carcass and bones in a baking pan and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned.
Step 2
Transfer to a soup pot, add onion, carrot and bay leaf, and cover with 12 cups cold water. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a gentle simmer. Cook, uncovered, for about 1½ hours, occasionally skimming off foam or fat.
Step 3
Strain though a fine mesh sieve and skim any remaining fat from surface.
