Just take all the bones and skin, bring to the boil, and then leave to simmer for 3 to 4 hours. You can put a bayleaf and some onion, carrot and celery (like an inch of each) in there two, but it makes the stock not last so long. Once it's reduced down, carefully strain off what should be c a clear liquid, and put it in the fridge. You can make all kinds of great soups with the stock - just add simple ingredients so you don't mask the stock's flavour. I can eat it raw, but maybe that's an acquired taste. ;-) A great way to make cheap soup is to make chicken stock after roasting one (or preferably two) birds.
