Add the chicken carcass to the bottom of a large stock pot and cover with cold water.
Heat over medium high heat on the stovetop until it begans to simmer and then reduce the heat to medium low.
Simmer the stock for 30 minutes, skimming the top occasionally to remove any scum.
While the stock is simmering, chope the onions, carrots and celery into large pieces.
Place the bay leaf, fresh herbs, garlic and peppercorns in a piece of cheesecloth and tie up into a bundle using cooking twine.
After 30 minutes of simmering, add the vegetables and herb bundle to the pot and continue to simmer for 3-4 hours, adding extra water as needed so everything stays covered.
After simmering, strain the stock to remove the carcass, herbs and vegetables.
Use the stock immediately or cool completely and store for use later.
