Low Iodine 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 with real intention. The recipe uses fresh chicken bones, garden vegetables, and a handful of fragrant herbs to build a golden, clear broth that tastes like it took far more effort than it did. A quick blanching step at the start pulls away surface impurities, which is what gives the finished cup that clean, bright flavor rather than a murky or heavy one. For anyone navigating a low-iodine protocol, store-bought broths and bouillon cubes are almost always off the table — they tend to contain additives, sea salt, or other ingredients that make them unreliable. This recipe keeps things straightforward: fresh chicken, plain vegetables, fresh herbs, apple cider vinegar, and regular salt. Nothing hidden, nothing to second-guess. The apple cider vinegar is a small but smart addition that helps draw minerals from the bones during the long, gentle simmer. Skimming the surface every thirty minutes keeps the broth tasting clean, and the two-to-two-and-a-half-hour window is intentional — it hits the sweet spot for flavor and safety without pushing into territory where histamine can build up. Sip it straight from a mug as a warming wellness ritual, or use it as a nourishing base whenever a recipe calls for broth.
