How To Make Homemade Broth That Is Delicious & Healthy

Recipe by: The Food Babe

Serves: 6-8 cups

Ingredients

• 1 whole chicken or chicken bones (3-4 pounds)

• 1 yellow onion, peeled and chopped

• 2 carrots, chopped

• 4 celery stalks, chopped

• 5 sprigs fresh parsley

• 5 sprigs fresh thyme

• 2 garlic cloves (optional)

• sea salt and pepper, to taste

• 3-4 quarts of filtered water

Instructions

1. Place all of the ingredients except the salt and pepper in a large pot. Pour the water over the chicken and vegetables until it is just covered. You may have more water than needed.

2. Bring the water to a boil, skimming off any foam that floats to the top. Cover and turn down to a low simmer. Cook for 3-4 hours. (Alternatively, you can make this in a slow cooker on low for 12-24 hours)

3. Strain the liquid through a fine mesh strainer. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. You can store the stock in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
