Print Recipe

A nourishing and flavorful chicken bone broth infused with turmeric, designed to boost immunity and provide comfort. Perfect for sipping or as a base for soups and stews.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds raw chicken carcasses or wings (organic, free-range preferred)
  • 12 cups water
  • 2-inch piece turmeric root, peeled and sliced (or 1 tablespoon turmeric powder)
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, quartered
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
  • Small bunch fresh parsley, tied
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Rinse the chicken bones under cold water. Optional: roast at 400°F (200°C) for 30 minutes until golden brown for deeper flavor.
  2. Place the bones in a large stockpot or slow cooker. Add water, apple cider vinegar, turmeric, ginger, garlic, carrots, celery, onion, bay leaves, and peppercorns.
  3. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes before heating to help vinegar extract minerals from the bones.
  4. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
  5. Skim off any foam or impurities during the first hour to keep broth clear.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 3 to 4 hours on stovetop, or 6 to 8 hours on low in a slow cooker for richer flavor.
  7. Add the parsley bundle about 15 minutes before finishing.
  8. Remove from heat and strain broth through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or container. Discard solids.
  9. Add salt to taste once broth is cool enough to handle.
  10. Let broth cool at room temperature before refrigerating in airtight containers. Keeps up to 5 days in fridge or 3 months frozen.

Notes

Roasting bones is optional but adds deeper flavor. Skim foam during first hour to keep broth clear. Add salt near the end to avoid over-concentration. Fresh turmeric provides brighter flavor and color, but powder works well. Cool broth quickly before refrigerating. Gelatin content may vary depending on bones used.
