How to Make Chicken Bone Broth!
Making homemade chicken bone broth is so easy! Make a big batch and freeze some for later!
Ingredients
- Bones from one organic chicken
- 1 large onion roughly chopped (can sub one leek or add a leek addition to onions)
- 2 celery stalks (chopped)
- 2 -3 large carrots (chopped)
- 2 leaves bay
- 1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
- splash apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tablespoon dried thyme or 1-2 tablespoons fresh thyme. (and/or fresh parsley)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed (optional)
Instructions
-
In a large stockpot, place all ingredients and fill with water covering all ingredients by a few inches. I used 14 cups of water. Bring mixture to a boil and then simmer for at least 4 hours. I always try to simmer my stock for as many hours as possible, at least 8-10. The stock reduces to about 2/3 of the original. While the stock is simmering, skim off any foam the reaches the top of your stock.
-
You can add some water if you believe it is reducing too much.
-
When your stock is done, strain through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth and let the stock cool. Store in the refrigerator can be frozen, but best when used within a few months.
-
My batch usually makes about 10-12 cups.

For a low fodmap diet: Omit onion, garlic and/or leeks.
