Simple Chicken Bone Broth
This is a really basic broth, I have found if I keep it simple I am more likely to make it often. Also, I don't add veggies - less work and I read somewhere that it lasts longer in the fridge without veggies and I often use it as a base for soups anyway.
Ingredients
- organic Chicken Bones or 2-3 chicken frames
- fresh turmeric 5-8 cm piece or 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder
- fresh ginger 5-10 cm piece
