This Easy Crockpot Bone Broth is made from the scraps of a whole chicken, some veggies and spices in the slow cooker! Paleo, whole30 and budget friendly!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb bones from chicken or beef
  • 2 cups celery stalks (halved - optional)
  • 1 cup carrots (halved - optional)
  • 1 cup onion (quartered - optional)
  • sprigs fresh thyme + rosemary (optional)
  • salt/pepper to taste
  • 8 cups water ((approximately, fill to the top of your crockpot))

Directions

  1. 1

    Add all ingredients to a crockpot (bones, scraps, fat, etc). Cover with filtered water and cook on low for at least 12 hours (16-18 is best).

  2. 2

    You may need to adjust the amount of water depending on the size of your crockpot. You can fill to the top of the crockpot!

  3. 3

    Allow broth to cool slightly, and run through a fine mesh strainer into a large pot or container. (This will just be easier to do if it is not scalding hot).

  4. 4

    Storage: Store in airtight containers for up to 4 days, or put in the freezer until ready to use!

  5. 5

    Optional, but recommended: Carefully remove carrots, onions + celery from the strainer and place into blender. Puree in blender until smooth (You may need to add a little broth to the blender depending on it’s power)

  6. 6

    Stir veggie puree into strained broth and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
