Coconut Free Herbed Bone Broth Wellness Cup
There is something deeply restorative about wrapping your hands around a warm mug of homemade broth, and this herb-forward wellness cup delivers that comfort in the most nourishing way possible. Chicken backs or necks simmer low and slow with fresh thyme, rosemary, parsley, carrots, and celery, building a rich, golden broth that tastes like it took all day — even though it comes together in just a couple of hours. A splash of apple cider vinegar helps draw minerals from the bones during the simmer, making every sip feel genuinely purposeful. The blanching step at the start is a small but smart move that pulls away surface impurities and keeps the finished broth beautifully clear rather than cloudy. Store-bought broths and cartons can hide all kinds of additives and flavor enhancers, but this one is completely transparent — every ingredient is right there in the pot. It's naturally free from tropical oils and thickeners, so you get pure, clean flavor without any of the label-reading stress. Sip it straight from a mug as a morning ritual or an afternoon reset, and freeze any extras so a healing cup is always within reach.

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.
