Immune Boosting Bone Broth


  • Author: Kristi McCollom
  • Total Time: 8-24 hours
  • Yield: 5 cups 1x

Description

Sipping on nutrient rich, immune boosting bone broth is great when you’re feeling sniffly.  I always keep homemade broth in the freezer to add flavor and nutrients to soups, sauces, curries, sauteing veggies and more!


Ingredients

Scale

1 1/22 lbs bones (chicken or turkey carcass bones, meaty bones, marrow bones, beef bones, or any bones you may have)

1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar

Optional: 3-4 cloves garlic, 1/2 onion, 2 carrots, 2 celery stalks, herbs


Instructions

  1. Rinse bones under cool water.
  2. Add all ingredients to a large pot.
  3. Fill the pot almost to the top with water.
  4. Bring to a boil.  Then cover and reduce heat to a very low setting so that the broth is just bubbling slightly.  
  5. Allow broth to bubble for 8-24 hours.
  6. Taste and add more salt if desired. 
  7. Strain the broth through a fine mesh strainer and discard all of the bones and vegetables.
  8. Store broth in glass containers in the fridge for 2-3 days or in the freezer for 3 months.

Notes

Taste the broth occasionally to see when the flavor reaches your desired taste.  I usually remove the lid, raise the heat and boil the broth for 15 minutes at the end.  It reduces the broth and intensifies the flavor a bit.
