Oats 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 its purest form. Built on chicken bones, fresh garden vegetables, and a handful of fragrant herbs, it is as clean and wholesome as a recipe gets — no grains, no fillers, no hidden additives to second-guess. The apple cider vinegar works quietly in the background, helping to draw minerals from the bones during the long, gentle simmer. A quick blanching step at the start pulls out surface impurities so the finished broth comes out beautifully clear rather than cloudy or murky. Skimming the surface every thirty minutes might feel like a small extra effort, but it makes a real difference in both flavor and appearance. The note about keeping the simmer under three hours is worth taking seriously — it keeps histamine levels in check, which matters especially if you are drinking this as a daily wellness ritual. Sip it straight from the mug, season it to your liking, and know that every ingredient in the cup is exactly what it says it is.

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.
