How to Make Bone Broth

Bone broth is a staple food in my house, as it should be in any real food home (in my opinion). Because of its many health benefits, I recommend learning how to make your own bone broth as soon as possible. Don't be intimidated by it, because it's very easy to learn.

This superfood is very beneficial to overall health. It contains a high amount of antioxidants, vitamins, and several minerals, including calcium, silicon, sulfur, magnesium, glucosamine, phosphorus, and chondroitin sulfates. Bone broth also contains gelatin which is healing to the body and two important amino acids, proline and glycine.

Health Benefits of Bone Broth:

  • Promotes digestive health
  • Fights Inflammation
  • Reduces joint pain and inflammation
  • Promotes healthy hair and nail growth
  • Promotes strong, healthy bones
  • Protects against infection

Learn how my family healed our bodies by incorporating bone broth and other healing foods into our diet, or how you can heal your gut with bone broth.

Bone broth is extremely versatile in the kitchen. Since I've started making it, I never like to be without it. Here are just a few of the ways I use bone broth in my cooking…

Ideas for Using Bone Broth:

  • Cook rice with bone broth instead of water
  • Make a yummy gravy to pour over meat, potatoes, or vegetables
  • Make easy and delicious soups: just cook veggies/rice/noodles in bone broth (and water if needed), add some cooked meat if desired, salt and pepper to taste and you're done.

With bone broth, it's easy to get your kids to eat vital nutrients!

Homemade Bone Broth

Ingredients

  • 1 leftover chicken carcass OR equivalent in leftover meat bones beef, turkey, etc.
  • 1 cup each of carrot celery, onion, roughly chopped (whatever you have on hand is fine)

  • Filtered water

Instructions

  • Place bones and vegetables in a large crockpot. Fill almost to the brim with filtered water. Add the vinegar and let sit for about 1 hour.
  • Turn the crockpot on LOW and simmer for 8-10 hours. Allow to cool.
  • Strain the liquid with a fine mesh strainer. Store in mason jars or another appropriate container. Bone broth will keep in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks and in the freezer for several months.

    I’ve been drinking bone broth regularly for 4 months now, and it’s dramatically improved my skin. After just 2 weeks of drinking it every day, years of acne problems disappeared. I really couldn’t believe it — this worked because the broth healed my gut after years of damage from the wrong kind of diet for my body. I’m really excited to share my story. Please check it out on my blog.
