Macadamia Free Herbed Bone Broth Wellness Cup
This warming wellness cup is the kind of thing that makes you feel taken care of from the inside out — deeply savory, herb-scented, and genuinely nourishing. Fresh chicken bones are blanched first to pull out impurities, which is the secret to a beautifully clear, clean-tasting broth rather than a murky one. Carrots, celery, and a generous bundle of thyme, parsley, and rosemary do the heavy lifting on flavor, while a splash of apple cider vinegar helps draw out the good stuff from the bones during the long, gentle simmer. The whole process is straightforward and relies entirely on whole, recognizable ingredients — no packaged stocks, no mystery additives, nothing to second-guess. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, this recipe is naturally free of any such ingredients from start to finish, so you can sip with total confidence. Serve it straight from the pot in a warm mug, or stash portions in the fridge or freezer so you always have something restorative on hand. It's the kind of simple, honest cooking that never goes out of style.

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.
