Sesame Free Herbed Bone Broth Wellness Cup
There is something deeply comforting about wrapping your hands around a warm mug of golden, herb-scented broth — and this wellness cup delivers that feeling in the most wholesome way possible. Built from chicken bones, fresh garden herbs, and a splash of apple cider vinegar, it is the kind of nourishing sip that feels like a reset for your whole body. The blanching step early in the process is a small but smart move that keeps the finished broth beautifully clear and clean-tasting rather than murky or heavy. Thyme, rosemary, and parsley bring a fragrant, savory depth that makes this feel far more intentional than a basic stock. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free of sesame in any form — no sauces, no blended seasonings, no hidden additives to second-guess on a label. The careful simmer window also keeps the broth tasting bright and fresh rather than flat or overly rich. Sip it straight from a mug, use it as a base for soups, or freeze portions so you always have something restorative on hand.

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.
