Anti-Inflammatory Bone Broth

Making your own bone broth is simpler than it seems, and so much better for you than the pre-packaged stuff. While the chicken and vegetables are simmering down, they release all their sticky goodness into the filtered water, including important amino acids like glutamine proline and glycine, key for creating and repair of muscle tissue, lubricating our joints, and absorption of nutrients. The healthy byproducts of bone broth are numerous as touted by many physicians, health experts, and folks that subscribe to Paleo and other anti-inflammatory lifestyles.

Instructions

1. Place the chickens, onions, carrots, celery, garlic, parsley, thyme, turmeric, vinegar, salt, and peppercorns in a 16 quart stockpot. Add 4 quarts of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 6-8 hours, skimming off any foam that comes to the top.

2. When finished cooking, set aside until cool enough to handle, and then strain the contents of the pot through a colander. Discard the solids. I like to divide into 3-4 freezer safe glass jars and store one in fridge to use immediately, and freeze remaining portions.
