Seeds Free Herbed Bone Broth Wellness Cup
There is something deeply comforting about wrapping both hands around a warm mug of homemade broth, and this herb-forward wellness cup delivers that feeling in the most nourishing way possible. Chicken backs or necks simmer low and slow with carrots, celery, and a generous bundle of fresh thyme, parsley, and rosemary, filling your kitchen with an aroma that feels like a reset button for the whole day. The blanching step at the start is a small but smart move — it pulls out surface impurities so the finished broth comes out beautifully clear rather than cloudy. A splash of apple cider vinegar helps draw minerals from the bones during the simmer, making every sip feel genuinely restorative. For anyone navigating a seeds-free approach, this recipe is refreshingly straightforward — every single ingredient is whole, fresh, and easy to verify, with no spice blends or packaged shortcuts that might sneak in hidden seeds. The broth is best enjoyed straight from the pot, but it also freezes beautifully, so making a batch means you have something wholesome ready to go whenever you need it most.

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.
