That’s on my menu for tomorrow night . Your broth looks amazing 

ocean_girl yes I just had a bowl and it tends to get better after a few days in the frig! So healthy. I could live in it 

On it*. Lol 

Power food! Looks great!! 

Stormsgirl yes it’s my favorite thing to cook. Takes 6 hours minimum but it’s worth every teaspoon! 

Luv me some bone broth! 

Looks great! How do you make chicken bone broth? Would love to learn :)  

ZyberGypsy yes it’s pretty easy. I use a 2 gallon pot. Put the bones in so that they are 2” under the water line. I use zero water filters for water purity but tap will work as well. I put 1 tablespoon of salt in such a large amount as 2 gallons (you don’t have to add salt while cooking). Bring to a rolling boil then back it off to very low boil with the top on. For quicker done time you can leave the lid open a crack so it reduces quicker. Usually a quick batch can be done in 90 minutes. I prefer to use this method and add water accordingly as it burns off for the first 4 hours then cover completely for the last two hours.  

Bones from a couple of Walmart smoked rotisserie chickens in the crock pot add in a couple of Bayleaves , salt n pepper, med onion cut into chunks, few carrots. Fill with water and cook on high to a boil then low overnight. Strain bones and coarse stuff out and cool to refrigerator temp. Clean the fat off the top and warm to liquify and put in pint mason jars. Yum!  

66Pack. Yes that’s how you do it! I have a thing where I’ll take the bones out after 3-4 hours and then cook my chicken in the pot for 40 minutes. Then I remove the chicken and debone it. Put my veggies and seasoning in for about another 45 minutes. Put the chicken back in and then simmer on low for an hour. I have found that you can recycle the bones (by refreezing) for a weaker broth in the future. But I’ve never used them three times.
