Chicken bone broth soup is a nutritious and delicious soup that is easy to make at home. It is made by simmering chicken bones, vegetables, and herbs in water for several hours. Bone broth soup is a great way to use up leftover chicken bones and vegetable scraps, and it provides many health benefits.
In this article, I will give you a step-by-step guide to making chicken bone broth soup at home. This recipe will make approximately 8 servings of soup.
Ingredients:
- 2-3 lbs. of chicken bones (including necks, backs, and feet if available)
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Water (enough to cover the ingredients in the pot)
Step 1: Gather your ingredients.
Before you start making your chicken bone broth soup, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients. If you don't have chicken bones, you can buy them from your local butcher or use leftover bones from a roasted chicken. You can also add other vegetable scraps like parsley stems, mushroom stems, or onion skins.
Step 2: Roast the bones (optional).
If you have raw chicken bones, you can roast them in the oven for 20-30 minutes at 400°F before making the broth. This will give the broth a deeper flavor and color. Place the bones on a baking sheet and drizzle with a little bit of oil. Roast them until they are browned.
Step 3: Add the ingredients to a large pot.
Place the chicken bones, chopped vegetables, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large pot. Add enough water to cover the ingredients by at least 1 inch. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for at least 4-6 hours, or up to 24 hours.
Step 4: Skim off any foam or impurities.
As the broth simmers, you may notice foam or impurities rising to the surface. Use a slotted spoon to skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the top. This will help to clarify the broth and remove any unpleasant flavors.
Step 5: Strain the broth.
Once the broth has simmered for the desired amount of time, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Use a large slotted spoon or tongs to remove the larger pieces of chicken bones and vegetables from the pot. Then, pour the broth through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl or pot. Discard the solids.
Step 6: Store the broth.
Let the broth cool completely, then transfer it to storage containers. You can store the broth in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze it for later use. You can also use the broth immediately to make chicken bone broth soup.
Step 7: Make the soup.
To make the chicken bone broth soup, you will need:
- 8 cups of chicken bone broth
- 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken
- 2 large carrots, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon of fresh thyme leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
In a large pot, sauté the chopped vegetables and garlic in a little bit of oil until they are softened. Add the chicken bone broth, shredded chicken, and thyme leaves to the pot. Bring the soup to a simmer and let simmer until the vegetables are tender to your liking.
