Homemade Bone Broth
Bone broth isn't just a trend - it’s a time tested superfood packed with collagen, amino acids and essential minerals to support your joints, skin, hair & nails, digestion and overall well being!
Ingredients
- 18 - 20 cups cold water
- 4 pounds chicken necks, feet and/or wings
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 2 - 4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 1 - 2 medium onions
- 1 bay leaf
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Place all ingredients, including water, into a slowcooker or a big pot on the stove.
- Bring to a simmer.
- Simmer covered for 24 - 48 hours, occasionally skimming fat. If needed add more water.
- Remove the big pieces of solids from the broth.
- Strain the broth to remove the remaining solids.
- Let the broth cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate.
Notes
- You can use less than 4 pounds of chicken but we like to keep the bones to water ratio high for a lovely gelatinous and collagen-rich broth.
- You can add more garlic for an additional immune boost.
- Store the broth in the fridge for one week or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Homemade broth can be used in soups, stews and more!
