Chicken Bone Broth – We all have heard about the fantastic benefits of broth for our digestive system and to keep balance in our gut.
This is my simple recipe that I have been using for a long time now to prepare nutritional bone broth for my whole family. It has always been important to me to provide foods that nourish us not harm us and even in stock we find on the shelves in supermarkets are most often laden with chemicals like MSG – 621 (found also in malt extract and yeast extract).
To make the process as inexpensive as possible we purchase an organic or free range whole chicken from the local farmers market (one free from hormones and antibiotics) and roast it with vegetables for dinner. After our meal we remove all remaining meat and use the carcass as the base for our chicken bone broth.

- 1 organic/free range chicken carcass (remaining from roast chicken plus the garlic and onion we used to stuff the chicken)
