This is a first...
I made chicken stock today, and while I normally strain it right away, I didn't today. I just strained it and it's a weird green color. WTF? No herbs, other than a bouquet garni...just chicken, celery, carrots and onions.

I think the carrots are the culprit. I don't remember where I read it, but there's something about cooked carrots turning green.....................

Hmm.. I've had cooked sweet potatoes turn green; maybe it's a beta-carotene thing?

JB and SS,
You both may be onto something. They replaced two hydrants on our street last Friday and turned off the water all day. Ever since they restored it the water has been cloudy from excessive aeration. Perhaps the pH is also off. I'll check it. I'll also not let the stock sit when I make it (again) tomorrow...perhaps it sitting with the carrots is responsible.
Sigh...I have so much to do in the next few days...making stock again is not what I planned on.

Normal. But I'm using it for risotto for a catering event this weekend, so need to remake. Can't afford green risotto.

Freeze the stock and save it for some arroz verde, when you have a Mexican event. At least it won't be wasted!
It hasn't happened for years, but I made a pureed soup one time that had carrots in it, and it got sort of greenish in the fridge. I never saw an explanation for that until now!
