This nutrient-rich broth has been used for generations to soothe sore throats, aid digestion, and support healing.
🍴 Ingredients
2–3 lbs bones (beef, chicken, or fish — include joints, feet, or knuckles for more collagen)
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (helps draw out minerals)
1 onion, quartered
2 carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
1–2 cloves garlic
Fresh herbs (parsley, thyme, bay leaf)
Filtered water (enough to cover bones)
đź’ˇ Pro tip: Save roasted chicken carcasses or ask your butcher for soup bones.
🍳 Instructions
Add everything to a large pot or slow cooker
Place bones, vinegar, veggies, and herbs in the pot.
Cover completely with water.
Simmer low and slow
Stovetop: Gentle simmer for 12–24 hours (don’t boil hard — it breaks down nutrients)
Slow cooker: Low for 12+ hours
Instant Pot: High pressure for 3–4 hours
Strain and store
Pour through a fine-mesh strainer.
Discard solids.
Cool and refrigerate (broth will gel when cold — that’s the collagen!)
Use daily
Sip ½–1 cup warm each morning
Use as base for soups, stews, or grains
âś… Store in fridge for up to 5 days or freeze in portions for 6 months.
