All summer long, if I'm precooking chicken for the barbecue, or just boiling up wing tips or backs or whatever, I just save up the stock from the pot. Come winter, I've got oodles of stock for chicken soup. My kids literally fight over my soup, and some if it is made from stock that's a lot more than two months old. The fat can get a little old-smelling, but I don't defat the stock until I'm making the soup. I can't imagine it not being safe to use, just that the flavours can get a little off in prolonged storage. A little parsley eliminates any off-flavours, anyway.
