Home Brewed Chicken Broth for Chicken Soup

[kap]

I want to make chicken soup but my S/O doesn't like smell (lack of a better word) of the broth from a freshly boiled chicken. How do I avoid that? I would put lots of garlic but I am the only one who likes garlic that much. TiA

vegetable broth instead ?

You're not supposed to use garlic when making chicken stock.

You are supposed to use mirepoix and aromatics such as bay leaf, dried thyme, peppercorns, and parsley stems.

I can't stand the smell of Matzo Ball Soup.
Maybe fry up some fish in a pan at the same time you're cooking the soup. Multi-task!

1 onion, quartered
1-2 carrots, chopped
1-2 stalks celery, chopped
2 bay leaves
thyme
pepper
parsley

Other veggies or herbs as desired, but that should cover the smell problem. That, or turn the range hood on.

Chicken
Carrots
Onions
Celery
Parsley
Salt
Pepper
Water

Tell S/O to go pick some tofu while you make the soup.

I have used all of the ingredients you mentioned except for the bay leaves and thyme. Will add them in this time. Thanks!

What is the ABV of that homebrewed chicken broth? I just made a Barley Wine. I don't know the final numbers, but I'm aiming for 12% ABV

According to the Frugal Gourmet, if your spouse thinks you use too much garlic, you need a new spouse. Not sure what his take on chicken stock is.
