Consommé Double
This broth is made even better if you can use the frozen necks, gizzards, and livers from turkeys that you have roasted. Because we are starting with chicken stock instead of water and making the stock much stronger by cooking it with pieces of poultry, the broth is called a consommé double.

Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Fill a generous pot with the chicken stock and 1 quart water. Add the onion, celery, garlic, and bay leaves. Boil for 20 to 25 minutes.
Step 2
Put the pieces of chicken, fresh or frozen, into the stock. Boil vigorously for 1 hour.
Step 3
Take the pot off the stove and let the contents cool.
Step 4
Skim off any scum at the top, then strain the broth. (I pour it through a four-ply cheesecloth in a strainer.)
Step 5
Place the strained broth in the freezer in 6 small packets (1 1/2 cups per packet) so the entire batch does not have to be defrosted.
