Homemade Chicken Soup (Bone Broth)

Servings 8 people
Calories 66 kcal

Ingredients
  

  • 1 box Organic chicken broth 32 ounce box
  • 1 whole chicken cleaned and giblets removed
  • 1 Tomato whole
  • 1 onion outer skin removed, cut in half
  • 1 parsnip cut in large chunks
  • 2 stalks celery including top celery leaves, cut in chunks
  • 1 turnip cut in chunks
  • 1 bunch parsley
  • 1 bunch dill
  • 4 carrots cut in chunks
  • 1 Bay Leaf
  • 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions
 

  • In a very large soup pot, combine all ingredients, and bring to a rapid boil.
  • Once boiling, lower light to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 3-4 hours (the longer the better. Turn off the heat, keep soup pot covered, and allow it to sit and cool for a few hours. I like to cook it at night, turn the flame off right before I go to bed, and then let it sit until early on the morning. This allows the flavors to really soak into the soup.
  • Once cooled, using a slotted spoon, remove all the chicken from the soup. Remove all bones and skin from the chicken, and transfer just the meat into a separate bowl. This is great to eat alone, mix with barbecue sauce and slow cook for pulled chicken, or add back into the soup with carrots later for a meal.
  • Once all the chicken is removed, strain out the rest of the liquid from the cooked vegetables. Toss/compost the cooked vegetables, and enjoy the nutritious and delicious bone broth.
