Step-by-Step Instructions for Bone Broth Chicken Soup

  • Place a whole chicken in a large pot, ensuring it fits snugly. Rinse it under cold water and pat it dry.
  • Chop the carrots, celery, and onion into large chunks and add them to the pot around the chicken.
  • Peel and crush the garlic cloves and add them to the pot.
  • Pour 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar into the pot, followed by 10 cups of water, ensuring the chicken is fully submerged.
  • Add 1 bay leaf, 1 tablespoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon of black pepper to the pot.
  • Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil, then lower the heat.
  • Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cover the pot, letting it simmer for 4-6 hours.
  • Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside to cool.
  • Using a fine mesh sieve, strain the broth into another pot or bowl, removing any solid ingredients.
  • Once the chicken has cooled, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces and add it back into the strained broth.
