Recipe View 1 hrs 15 mins Crafting the Broth (60-90 minutes): In a large stockpot, place the chicken carcass (or chicken thighs, if using) and any leftover skin, meat, and bones. Cover generously with cold water. Add the bay leaf. Bring to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let it simmer for 60 to 90 minutes, allowing the broth to develop a rich, savory depth. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve. Shred any chicken meat from the carcass or thighs and chop into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

For a richer flavor, consider roasting the chicken carcass before making the broth. This adds a lovely depth of flavor.
If you prefer a thicker chowder, mash a portion of the potatoes before adding the cream.
Feel free to add other vegetables like celery or carrots for extra nutrition and flavor.
This chowder is even better the next day, as the flavors meld together beautifully.
To ensure the heavy cream doesn't curdle during reheating, do so gently over low heat or in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the chicken carcass with vegetable broth and add other vegetables like cauliflower or broccoli.
