Seed Oil Free Herbed Bone Broth Wellness Cup
There is something deeply nourishing about wrapping your hands around a warm mug of broth made entirely from scratch, and this herbed version delivers that comfort in the most wholesome way possible. Every ingredient here is clean and intentional — chicken bones, fresh vegetables, garden herbs, and a splash of apple cider vinegar — with absolutely no refined seed oils or processed additives sneaking in anywhere. The vinegar does quiet but important work, helping to draw minerals from the bones during the long, gentle simmer, while the thyme, rosemary, and parsley give the broth a fragrant, savory depth that store-bought cartons simply cannot match. A quick blanching step at the start pulls out surface impurities so the finished broth is beautifully clear rather than cloudy or murky. The recipe also keeps simmering time within a smart two-to-two-and-a-half-hour window, which matters for keeping the broth as fresh-tasting and clean as possible. Sip it straight from a mug as a morning ritual or an afternoon reset, and store any leftovers promptly — this one is best enjoyed fresh and fast.

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.
