The Richest Bone Broth (AIP)

Bone broth is another staple on the AIP diet.  It can be used to replace your morning cup of joe, as a snack, or as a base for a number of soups.  This broth is richer than the stuff you buy at the store, not as salty, and oh-so-nourishing.  It smells like Thanksgiving in a cup!

I make this recipe in conjunction with Falling-off-the-bone Crockpot Chicken.  Every time.  Here’s how:

The Richest Bone Broth (AIP)           By Wendi’s AIP Kitchen – wendisaipkitchen.com

• Bones, onions, liquid, etc. leftover from Falling-off-the-bone Crockpot Chicken
• 1 yellow onion, roughly chopped
• 1 stalk of celery
• 1 carrot, roughly chopped
• 1 large bay leaf
• 1/2 t. sea salt
• 1/2 t. dried thyme
• 1/4 t. black pepper (omit for elimination phase of AIP)
• water

Return all bones, giblets (if using), etc. from the crockpot chicken recipe to the crockpot.  Dump in the onion, celery, carrot, bay leaf, salt, thyme, and pepper. Add water to the pot until the level is about one inch from the top.  Cover, and cook on low for twelve hours.  (I cook it overnight.)  Strain out large chunks with a “spider,” or slotted spoon.  Then strain the liquid through a fine sieve.  Be careful!  It’s hot!  Pour the resulting broth into storage containers, and refrigerate.  This broth freezes beautifully, but glass jars have broken in my freezer, even after they were cooled.  You may decide to use plastic containers.  Use your best judgment.  My tutorial video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5biY5JvakA
