Hazelnut Free Herbed Bone Broth Wellness Cup
There is something deeply restorative about wrapping your hands around a warm mug of homemade broth, and this herbed version delivers that comfort in the most wholesome way possible. Built on a base of chicken backs or necks, fresh carrots, celery, and a fragrant bundle of thyme, parsley, and rosemary, it tastes clean and nourishing without a single processed ingredient in sight. The blanching step at the start is a small but brilliant move — it pulls out surface impurities so the finished broth is clear, golden, and genuinely beautiful. A splash of apple cider vinegar helps draw minerals from the bones during the long, gentle simmer, making every sip feel like it's actually doing something good for you. Because this is made entirely from scratch with whole, identifiable ingredients, there's no guesswork about what's in the pot — no hidden nut-derived additives, no shared-facility concerns, just real food. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 24 hours or heads straight to the freezer, so you can batch-cook and have a wellness cup ready whenever you need one.

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.
