Lupin Free Herbed Bone Broth Wellness Cup
There is something deeply comforting about wrapping both hands around a warm mug of broth, especially when you know exactly what went into it. This wellness cup is built on a short, clean list of real ingredients — chicken bones, garden vegetables, and a handful of fresh herbs — with nothing unnecessary added. The blanching step at the start is a small but smart move that pulls out surface impurities and keeps the finished broth beautifully clear rather than cloudy. Apple cider vinegar draws minerals from the bones during the long, gentle simmer, while thyme, rosemary, and parsley layer in an herby warmth that makes this feel like more than just stock. For anyone navigating ingredient sensitivities, this kind of from-scratch approach is a genuine relief — no packaged broths with ambiguous additives, just whole, recognizable foods doing their job. The recipe also includes a helpful reminder to keep the simmer under three hours, which is a thoughtful detail that speaks to how carefully this one has been thought through. Sip it straight from the mug, or use it as a nourishing base for soups and grains throughout the week.

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.
