Cashew Free Herbed Bone Broth Wellness Cup
There is something deeply comforting about wrapping your hands around a warm mug of golden, herb-scented broth — and this wellness cup delivers that feeling in the most nourishing way possible. Built on a base of chicken backs or necks simmered low and slow with carrots, celery, and a generous bundle of fresh thyme, parsley, and rosemary, every sip is clean, savory, and genuinely restorative. The blanching step at the start is a small but brilliant move that pulls out surface impurities early, leaving the finished broth beautifully clear rather than murky. A splash of apple cider vinegar helps draw minerals from the bones during the long simmer, making this more than just a cozy drink. The entire ingredient list is straightforward and whole-food — no packaged stocks, no flavor concentrates, and absolutely nothing that could introduce hidden tree nut derivatives the way some store-bought broths or wellness blends can. Whether you sip it straight from a mug in the morning or use it as a base for soups and grains, this is the kind of simple, from-scratch recipe that earns a permanent spot in your weekly routine.

4 servings
- 2 lbs chicken backs or necks, fresh (not frozen-thawed overnight)
- 6 cups cold water
- 2 medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 stalks celery, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme
- 4 sprigs fresh parsley
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp salt, or to taste
Instructions
- 1
Place the chicken backs or necks in a large stockpot and cover with the cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately drain and rinse the bones under cold running water. Return the rinsed bones to the pot — this blanching step removes surface impurities and keeps the broth clear.
- 2
Add the carrots, celery, thyme, parsley, rosemary, and apple cider vinegar to the pot. Pour in enough fresh cold water to cover everything by about 1 inch (roughly 6 cups). Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low so the liquid holds a gentle, steady simmer with small bubbles breaking the surface.
