Health Benefits of Bone Broth
Bone broth is filled with health benefits. It has an anti-inflammatory effect in the gut and can help with reduce the intestines from leaking harmful intestinal fluids into the rest of the digestive tract.
Stewing bones can release amino acids which can aid the production of collagen and therefore increase your bodies production.
This has a positive effect on joint health.
Additionally, bone broth has natural immune boosting properties.
It’s also packed with protein and helps your body rebuild tissue and even makes a difference in the appearance of your skin.
There are so many other good things about this stuff including better sleep, better brain health, and improved heart health.
Ingredients:
- Celery- Chopped small
- Sweet Onions
- Garlic
- 2 cups Rice- soaked
- Thyme
- Parsley
- Rosemary– grind in mortar and pestle
- Pepper to taste
Directions:
Chop celery and simmer in water while prepping other veggies. Dice onions. Crush clove and mince garlic. (save all scraps from chopping veggies for future bone broth) Fry onions in oil until well browned. Add garlic. Cook for 2 minutes and remove from heat then add salt. Add bone broth to onions and stir. Then add the onion mixture to the celery base. Add rice. Simmer covered until rice is tender. Add chicken left over from making bone broth. To make it a cream of chicken soup you can add a half a cup of heavy whipping cream.
Conclusion
There are many great health benefits of eating this soup on a regular basis. For me just the improvements of joint health was enough to convince me to eat this o the regular.
