Onions contain an immune-supporting phytochemical, quercetin. There’s nothing better for soothing the digestive system than bone broth so be sure to sip on this delicious recipe if you’re working on getting your gut back on track.

Ingredients

Makes 20 servings

Bones from one chicken (good use of the rotisserie chicken you had for dinner the night before)

2 carrots, coarsely chopped

2 celery stalks, coarsely chopped

1 medium onion, coarsely chopped

3 whole garlic cloves

¼ tsp. sea salt

1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar

Filtered water

Instructions

1. Place the chicken in a 6 qt. slow cooker (or crock pot). Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, salt, and apple cider vinegar.

2. Fill the slow cooker with enough filtered water to cover the chicken bones and vegetables, leaving a couple of inches of space so the broth doesn’t overflow.

3. Cook on low, either all night or all day, about 8 hours.

4. Turn off heat. When cool enough, strain the broth and store in the refrigerator or freezer.
