Ingredients

  • 2 pound(s) chicken bones, wings, necks, or feet or beef knuckle or long bones
  • 1 medium onion(s) peeled and roughly chopped
  • 4 cup(s) vegetables for bone broth (use scraps from carrots, celery, kale, mushrooms, parsnips, fennel, parsley)
  • 2 whole bay leaf(s)
  • 1 tablespoon(s) peppercorns, whole
  • 1 tablespoon(s) oregano, dried
  • 1 tablespoon(s) fennel seed
  • 1 teaspoon(s) thyme, dried
  • 2 tablespoon(s) sea salt
  • 2 tablespoon(s) apple cider vinegar
  • water to cover, may need to add more during cooking

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Spread bones out on a baking sheet, and roast for 20 minutes.
  3. Remove bones from oven and add to a large soup pot. Add remaining ingredients, add water to fill the pot, cover with a lid, and simmer lightly on the stove top for 7-24 hours. NOTE: a film will develop on the surface, around the edges of the pot, as the broth simmers. Carefully skim this film off every few hours during cooking and discard.
  4. Season with sea salt (if desired), and strain to a clear broth.
  5. Refrigerate leftovers and consume within 24 hours, or freeze remaining broth in individual portions for later use.
