1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 bay leaves

5 cups water

Method

1
Place the chicken carcass into a large pot.
2
Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, peppercorns, salt, bay leaves, and leek to the pot.
3
Pour water into the pot until it just covers the ingredients.
4
Bring the pot to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a low simmer.
5
Let the stock simmer uncovered for 2 hours, occasionally skimming off any foam that forms on the surface.
6
After 2 hours, remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.
7
Strain the stock through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or container, discarding the solids.

Allow the stock to cool completely, then refrigerate. Once chilled, skim off any fat that has solidified on the surface.
