Storing Bone Broth for a Rainy Day

Sure, you may not feel under the weather today, but we are not immune to getting sick in the future. Make this delicious bone broth and save it for when you need it! The best and longest lasting storage method for bone broth is by freezing!

Simply add your cooked and cooled bone broth to a freezer container. Be sure to fill up the container, leaving a 1-inch space between the soup and the lid. Liquid expands when freezing, so this will keep all your broth inside the container when freezing! Freeze for up to 1 year.

How to Make Turmeric Ginger Bone Broth

Prep your veggies so they are ready to go.

In a large soup pot, add the onion, carrots, celery, jalapeno, turmeric root, ginger, and garlic. 

Lay the chicken carcass on top.

Pour the water over the chicken and vegetables. Bring to a low boil.

Add the cinnamon stick, anchovy paste, salt, and brown sugar.

Cook, stirring occasionally, for 4-6 hours until the broth is deeply golden in color and the veggies have given up all their flavor.

Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove the solids.

Serve with cooked rice noodles, or as a warm health tonic.
