Basic Chicken Stock

I know this one is not normal but let me plead my case. Roasted chicken is so easy. So easy. Roast a chicken for dinner, make your own stock with the leftovers. It's easy and you can make a really simple chicken noodle soup recipe like this one taste so good. (By the way, I made this chicken noodle soup with store bought chicken broth and it is delightful and very fast.)

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 carrots
2 celery stalks
1 onion halved
chicken bones (whatever is leftover)
2 quarts cold water
4 sprigs parsley
4 sprigs thyme
2 bay leaves

Saute the veggies about 4 minutes. Add everything else and simmer one hour. Strain. Refrigerate or freeze.
