- Bring to a boil over high heat, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Add the parsley, thyme, peppercorns, and bay leaves.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the broth is full-flavored, at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours.
- Strain the broth through a colander set over a large bowl.
- Discard the solids.
- Let stand for 5 minutes. Skim off the clear yellow fat that rises to the surface.
- Cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. (The broth can be prepared up to 3 days ahead, covered, and refrigerated, or frozen for up to 3 months.
