Place the vegetables, herbs and salt in a large pan or stock pot, cover with the Chicken bones and pour in the water & wine.

Bring gently to the boil for 5-6 minutes and skim off any scum that comes to the top. Turn the heat down to a gentle simmer and cook the stock for 3 hrs.

Variation of the theme - Brown Chicken stock

Same as above but prior to cooking roast the Chicken and vegetables for 35 minutes in a preheated oven - 200deg.C and swap the white wine for red wine that has been mixed with 2 tbs. tomato puree
