Easy Homemade Chicken Bone Broth

Has this happened to you?  Forgetting to add Bragg’s Apple Cider to your bone broth.  I realized this oversight today as I read Saveur magazine’s list of the 100 best or most noteworthy people or trends in food. #20 on their list is “make bone broth.”

Which is very timely since I made chicken soup for dinner tonight – perfect comfort food on a cold winter evening. The chicken soup’s base is made from my homemade bone broth and it takes the soup’s flavor to a whole different level!

In order to make bone broth whenever I need it, I make sure to always freeze any bones left over from the chickens that I roast. When I’m ready to make the broth, I pile the frozen bones (break as necessary) in a crock pot, cover with water, cook on low 12 to 24 hours. That’s it!

Then, to make the chicken soup, I strained the broth when it was finished and added 3 carrots, 1 onion, 3 cloves of garlic, half a bunch of Russian Kale, cabbage and leftover chicken breast pieces.
