AIP Friendly Herb & Ginger Sipping Bone Broth

Slow-simmered and deeply golden, this warming broth is the kind of thing you want to wrap both hands around on a cold afternoon. Beef bones are blanched first to pull out impurities, then returned to the pot with a splash of apple cider vinegar — a simple step that helps draw minerals from the bones during the long, gentle simmer. Fresh ginger, turmeric, thyme, rosemary, parsley, and bay leaves build layers of fragrance and flavor without relying on any of the nightshades, grains, or seed-based spices that can make this kind of recipe tricky to navigate. The result after four hours is a rich, amber liquid that smells like it belongs in a high-end wellness café. It serves four and comes together with nothing more than whole vegetables, fresh herbs, and time — no specialty products or complicated substitutions required. Finish each mug with a squeeze of lemon and a few sliced chives if you like a little brightness, or sip it plain and let the ginger and turmeric do their thing.

Ingredients

4 servings

2 lb beef bones (knuckle, marrow, or neck bones)
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
10 cups cold water
3 medium carrots, roughly chopped
3 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1 medium yellow onion, quartered
6 cloves garlic, smashed
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, sliced
1 (1-inch) piece fresh turmeric, sliced, or 1 tsp ground turmeric
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 sprigs fresh rosemary
½ bunch fresh parsley (stems and leaves)
2 bay leaves
1 tsp sea salt, plus more to taste

For serving

1 tbsp fresh lemon juice (optional)
1 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced (optional)

Instructions

1
Place the beef bones in the stockpot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then drain and rinse the bones under cold running water to remove any grey foam or impurities. Rinse the pot as well.
2
Return the cleaned bones to the pot. Add the apple cider vinegar and 10 cups cold water. Let the bones soak for 20 minutes — this helps draw minerals from the bones before heat is applied.
