I personally prefer the vegetable broth but the benefits of a chicken broth
are unique.
Besides its amazing taste and culinary uses, chicken or bone broth is
an excellent source of minerals and is known to boost the immune system
and improve digestion (the gelatin part is the healing agent for the guts).
Rich in calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, it is great for bone
and tooth health.
Bone broth in general supports joints, hair, skin, and nails because of
its high collagen content.
Here I share with you the chicken broth recipe of my teacher Melanie
at the Academy of Healing and Nutrition.
CHICKEN BROTH
Ingredients:
1 whole organic pasture-fed chicken, including feet and head
4 quarts water
2 TBS raw apple cider vinegar or white wine (to bring out calcium from bones)
1 large onion
2 carrots
3 celery stalks
1 bouquet garni made of parsley, bay leaf,peppercorns, sprigs of fresh thyme
Cut the chicken in several pieces and place them in a large pot with water,
vinegar and vegetables.
Bring to a boil and remove scum that rises to top.
Reduce heat and cook at very low heat for 6 hours.
Add salt to taste at the end.
Remove chicken meat and strain the stock in a large container
that can be stored in the fridge.
Serve by itself with a piece of chicken or use it as a stock for other recipes.
