Chicken Bone Broth Soup

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken bones on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, turning once halfway through.

2. 2

   While the bones are roasting, roughly chop the onion, carrots, and celery.

3. 3

   In a large stockpot, add the roasted chicken bones, chopped vegetables, garlic cloves, bay leaf, and black peppercorns.

4. 4

   Pour in 8 cups of water and add the apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 30 minutes to help draw out the nutrients from the bones.

5. 5

   Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for at least 12 hours. The longer it simmers, the more flavorful and nutritious the broth will be.

6. 6

   Occasionally skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.

7. 7

   After simmering, strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl to remove the solids.

8. 8

   Season the broth with salt to taste.

9. 9

   Let the broth cool to room temperature, then refrigerate. Once chilled, you can skim off any fat that solidifies on the surface.

10. 10

    Reheat the broth before serving. Enjoy your nutritious Chicken Bone Broth Soup!
