Bone Broth Recipe
This Easy Crockpot Bone Broth is made from the scraps of a whole chicken, beef or turkey, cooking low and slow to create an extremely nutrient dense, delicious broth.
Many people drink bone broth because it’s so nutrient packed. When the bones are cooked low and slow they release their naturally occurring collagen and gelatin which is great for your gut health, skin and nails.
Making the bone broth is really as easy as just filling your pot with water, and turning it on!
Ingredients:
Bones
Water
However, you can throw in some extra veggies and herbs for flavour (for instance, carrots, onions, celery, thyme or rosemary).
Instructions:
Add all ingredients to a crockpot (bones, scraps, fat, etc). Cover with filtered water and cook on low for at least 12 hours (16-18 is best).
You may need to adjust the amount of water depending on the size of your crockpot. You can fill to the top of the crockpot!
Allow broth to cool slightly, and run through a fine mesh strainer into a large pot or container.
Storage: Store in airtight containers for up to 4 days, or put in the freezer until ready to use.
Optional, but recommended: Carefully remove carrots, onions + celery from the strainer and place into blender. Puree in blender until smooth (You may need to add a little broth to the blender depending on it’s power)
Stir veggie puree into strained broth and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
Substitutions:
Bones – You can use any bones.. chicken, beef, or turkey will all work.
Veggies – Carrots, celery, onion and garlic add flavor to the broth but are not necessary
Seasonings – You can add salt, pepper, or whatever other herbs you’d like to the broth. We love to throw thyme and rosemary into our broth!
Apple cider Vinegar – Some people add apple cider vinegar to their broth to help coax the nutrients out of the bones. This is not necessary, but if you’d like to add it – feel free!
