Season Soul Warmer : Chicken Bone Broth
Updated: Nov 7, 2018
When the leaves start falling, the air begins to chill, the nose snuffling, ready or not, the Cold season is here. Something about the change in temperature always seem to break our immune system down. It's the perfect time to make bone broth, I can't say how many pots of chicken soups I made every Fall and Winter, once a month is definitive.
I have a few versions of it but this one is my favorite. On lazy days, I'll buy an Organic rotisserie chicken from Wholefoods and make some mash and salad, I'll use the carcass to make bone broth, I'll add some extra raw chicken bones in as well. There is no rule to making broth, it's simply some bones, vegetables and water but, certain extra elements will make your bone broth even more nutritious.
