Health Benefits from Bone Broth

It has so many health benefits including collagen 🙌🏻 which helps with signs of anti-aging. It also helps with your immune system, digestion and joint health. I wanted to note that this recipe is based on the consumption they serve at Neiman Marcus — I just adjusted it slightly and cook it for 5-10 time’s longer to get the collagen released from the bones. The longer you leave the broth to cook, the more collagen is present.

Also, you will have leftover ingredients. Instead of tossing what’s left of the chicken and veggies, you could always feed to the dog because all the flavor is gone from being cooked so long.

Note: thank you Lori for mentioning this in the comments. If you do give the leftovers to your dog, make sure to exclude the bones!!!

Enjoy!

Cook Time 8 hours
Total Time 8 hours

Ingredients
  

  • 5 pounds bone-in chicken I do half thighs/half drums
  • 2 cups chopped celery
  • 1 cup peeled and chopped carrots
  • 2 cups onion wedges
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 5 black peppercorns
  • 1 dried bay leaf
  • 3 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 1 bunch fresh Italian parsley
  • 1 teaspoon better than bullion chicken

Instructions
 

  • Place all ingredients into large stock pot — I use an 8.5 quart one and then fill with cold water.
  • Put over high heat until bubbles appear, then turn heat to low (as low as your stove can go).
  • Simmer on that low setting for at least 8 hours. The one I made for was 12 hours. Sometimes, I’ll cook it all day, refrigerate overnight, then put it back on low in the morning for that whole day. Longest I did was about 24 hours total and it was really gelatinous in the fridge — the more gelatinous it is the more collagen is present.
  • Place a strainer in a large bowl and pour the mixture into the strainer. Remove all chicken and veggies, pour broth into preferred storage container — I like mason jars.
  • Store in the fridge. The first morning after refrigeration, there will be a yellow skin on top — scoop that off and discard.
  • Warm and serve as desired. Can be stored for at least 4 days in the fridge.
