Description

This comforting chicken broth is more than just a flavorful liquid; it's a soothing elixir designed to invigorate and nourish. Imagine a warm, golden broth, its savory aroma filling your kitchen, promising relief and restoration with every spoonful. This isn't just about quenching your thirst; it's about embracing a time-honored tradition of using simple ingredients to create something truly restorative.

Sipping on this homemade chicken broth is like receiving a warm embrace from the inside out. The gentle heat soothes aching muscles, while the carefully selected vegetables release their natural goodness into the broth, creating a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate. The broth itself is rich and deeply satisfying, a testament to the slow simmering process that unlocks all the hidden depths of flavor from the bones and vegetables.

Garlic, simmered to mellow perfection, contributes a subtle, yet distinct layer of flavor, along with its well-known immune-supporting properties. The broth's gentle warmth can ease a scratchy throat, offering a welcome respite during seasonal discomfort. Think of it as a liquid hug, providing a sense of well-being and comfort when you need it most.

Regularly enjoying this broth is a proactive way to support your body's natural defenses, especially when seasonal ailments are prevalent. It's a simple, yet powerful ritual that can help you feel your best. Embracing a nose-to-tail philosophy, this recipe champions the resourceful use of every part of the animal.

When preparing chicken, reserving the bones for broth transforms what would otherwise be discarded into a treasure trove of flavor and nutrients. Chicken and turkey bones work beautifully in this broth, and even leftover beef bones from steaks can contribute to its rich depth. Consider connecting with your local butcher, as they may also offer bones, allowing you to create this nourishing broth with ease.

This broth isn't just a recipe; it's a connection to a tradition of mindful consumption and a celebration of the simple pleasures of homemade goodness.

Instructions

    1.
    Collect chicken bones and carcass pieces while you make other recipes with chicken over time to make homemade broth or stock. You could also make this recipe with turkey bones. If you don’t have a collection of bones in your freezer, you can purchase a pre-cooked whole rotisserie chicken from a grocery store. Remove the flesh from the chicken and save it to utilize in other recipes. Weigh the carcass bones and place them in the bottom of a large soup or stockpot.
    2.
    Fill the pot with large rinsed and cut pieces of carrot, celery, whole onion, and whole garlic cloves. Next, choose a selection of fresh herbs to season the broth with. Make an herb bundle by tying them together with a piece of cooking string. The herb bundle you see here was made with a poultry blend of sage, thyme, rosemary, and bay leaf. Other herbs you may decide to include are parsley, oregano, or basil. Add the herb bundle to your soup pot.
    3.
    Pour the water into the pot. Then, place either a plate or flat object inside the pot on top of the ingredients to keep them submerged in the water. In this photo, an expandable metal steaming basket was used. Cover the pot with a lid, and heat the ingredients until the water reaches boiling. Boil the ingredients for 10 minutes before reducing the heat to a simmer.
    4.
    Continue cooking the broth at a low bubbling temperature for a minimum of 6 hours or longer. The longer you cook the broth, the more flavor will develop and the more nutrients you’ll extract from the ingredients. Use tongs to discard the chicken bones, vegetables, and herb bundle. Strain the broth before adding salt and any other seasonings to your taste. You can store leftover broth in your refrigerator and microwave a cup whenever you want some.
