This can form the basis of a soup. I dilute the bone broth by 50% to make stock, especially if I am using bones as well in the preparation of the soup. Or you can drink half a cup daily, neat warmed or cool to heal your leaky gut.

Ingredients:

• 1.8kg raw chicken bones – necks, feet, wings
• 3 carrots, chopped
• 3 celery stalks, chopped
• 2 medium onions, unpeeled & quartered
• 4 garlic cloves, unpeeled & smashed
• 1 tsp Himalayan salt
• 1 tsp whole peppercorns
• 3 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 bay leaves
• 3 sprigs fresh thyme
• 5-6 sprigs parsley
• 1 tsp oregano
• 18-20 cups cold water

Method:

1. Add all ingredients in a 10 litre capacity crock-pot.
2. Simmer for 6-12 hours.
3. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly, skim off excess fat. Scoop out solids and strain through a colander. Cool to room temperature, cover and chill.
4. Use within a week or freeze up in portion sizes for up to 3 months.
