Packed with collagen, minerals, and deep flavor, this recipe makes it simple to create a nutrient-dense base for soups, stews, and meals. Thank you to our friends at The Thomas Farmstead for providing us with pasture raised chicken and this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 package chicken feet
  • 2 packages chicken frames (4 frames total)
  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped (peel if desired)
  • 1 onion, quartered
  • 1-2 celery stalks, roughly chopped
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • dried oregano, to taste
  • salt, to taste
  • whole peppercorns, to taste
  • Water

Directions

  1. In a small stock pot or slow cooker, add all ingredients, minus water.
  2. Fill pot with cold water. Bring to a boil and reduce to simmer.
  3. Simmer for 1 to 8 hours depending on how flavorful you like your broth (the longer the better!)
  4. Ladle into preferred storage vessels (ice cube tray, jars, quart-sized soup containers, etc.) through a fine meshed strainer to prevent meat and vegetables from getting into the stock.
  5. Refrigerate and use within a week or freeze for longer storage of large batches.
