Bone Broth 101 - Page 17

My mom found beef soup bones at a grocery store in the city. She bought all they had (5 packs)

I made chicken bone broth over the weekend. It smelled amazing and I've been using it in DS1's food.

Since this thread I've been making bone broth about weekly.

Love it!

I'm loving this perpetual bone broth!! I just emptied by crockpot after 7 days of bones simmering (the previous one was 4 or 5 days) and 7 or so quarts of broth stocked in my freezer! I'm going to wash the crock tonight (I figure I should do that sometime

) and start again with the bones of the chicken we ate tonight.

DD has been drinking the broth like crazy (with all 3 meals today!) because it's so readily available, so that's *awesome*.

Found another use for bone broth.

I bought some cat food that my cat hates and is refusing to eat. Today I put some chicken broth on it and she is tearing it up!

Okay, so I have a question about nutrition.

Is the nutrition just as good when you do the perpetual broth, where you take some out and add more water? I feel like the nutrition would be watered down, kwim?

I let my beef bones simmer in the crock pot for at least 3-4 days, and it cooks down by about half I guess. I freeze half of it in ice cube trays, and use the rest to make a soup (the broth is pretty concentrated, so I double it w/ water for the soup.) I figured that the concentrated frozen broth cubes are adding the most nutrition I can. I usually add them to chili, etc.

What are your thoughts? I'd love to get more broth from the bones, but not by sacrificing the nutrition....

I'm starting my first batch tomorrow night. While cleaning out our big freezer, I found a whole chicken that DH had grilled this summer. Making chicken enchilada soup out of it and then using that carcass plus the one from the rotisserie we bought this weekend. Can't wait!

JenLovie · 11-11-2012, 07:10 PM

I have another round of beef bone broth going right now. Started it yesterday and plan to use some of it in vegetable beef soup tomorrow.

Castle On A Cloud · 11-11-2012, 07:21 PM

My crock pot is on pretty much 5/7 days a week. The maintenance man jokes that we are the ones who are always cooking chicken, lol. Idk if I posted about this, but a little while ago, whole foods had whole chickens for .99/lb. I bought 20, and cut them up. So I have a chest freezer about half full of leftover chicken carcass... Hubby is getting pretty into the broth thing, always wanting to have some to drink, or to try a new soup with

I am down to one (maybe 2...) Bags of beef bones..I have to limit how much I make though, cause right now my freezer can only handle 40c at a time... Gotta eat more of that chicken (simmered in broth of course

)

Happygrl · 11-11-2012, 07:26 PM

I decided to go ahead and start it tonight.

Can I use any skin and/or leftover meat in the broth as well? I have lots of skin leftover and some dark meat (I'm not a big fan). If so, would I put them straight into the crockpot or roast them with the bones first?

melliethepooh · 11-11-2012, 08:03 PM

Every bit of a chicken is fair game for broth. Well, not livers. Whether you roast it is up to you. Sometimes I do, sometimes not.

Happygrl · 11-11-2012, 08:29 PM

Thanks! I asssumed that would be true but wanted to make sure I hadn't missed something in the previous 249 posts.

EMama · 11-15-2012, 11:12 AM

I've been making chicken bone broth for about a year now. I've only done it on the stovetop, but I'm thinking about trying the slow cooker method now.

I just stopped by our co-cop and they had chicken feet! It'll be my first time using those.

Happygrl · 11-15-2012, 11:24 AM

Still going with mine. Five quarts so far. Making enchilada soup with the broth I took out this morning. Rest is frozen.

I threw a portabella mushroom in my last batch.
