Chicken bone broth has so many health benefits when it comes to supporting your immune system in fighting colds and flu…including respiratory health (something we are all wanting to keep in top shape at the moment). I will go into a lot more detail in my next blog post of the benefits, but for now I would like to share my favourite chicken bone broth recipe, that you can start making today.

Ingredients

1 x chicken carcass (yes you can use the one leftover from your roast)

1 x stem of celery

2 x carrots

1 x onion

3 x tablespoons apple cider vinegar

2 x cloves of garlic

enough water to cover the carcass once in stockpot

salt and pepper to taste

Method

  1. Add all ingredients to a stock pot
  2. Bring to a boil
  3. Reduce heat to the lowest setting
  4. Partially cover and leave to simmer away for around 8hours.
  5. Once ready, strain the liquid and store in the fridge or freezer.

Bone broth can be enjoyed many ways, I love starting my day off with a small mug of bone broth. It can be added to soups, rice, gravies - anything savoury that you would add liquid to.
