Homemade Organic Chicken Bone Broth

Made using Eversfield Organic Chicken Carcasses

There’s nothing quite as nourishing — or as traditional — as a pot of homemade organic bone broth slowly simmering away on the stove. This age-old recipe transforms humble ingredients into a deeply flavourful, nutrient-rich broth that’s perfect for soups, sauces, gravies, or simply enjoyed on its own as a warming, restorative drink.

Using Eversfield Organic Chicken Carcasses, you’ll create a broth that’s not only delicious but packed with collagen, amino acids, and minerals — all essential for gut health, immunity, and wellbeing. As always, our organic chicken comes from free-range, high-welfare farms, where the birds are raised naturally on pasture, meaning your broth is as wholesome as it gets.

🥣 Ingredients

• 2 Eversfield Organic Chicken Carcasses (or leftover roast chicken bones)

• 2 carrots, roughly chopped

• 2 celery sticks, roughly chopped

• 1 onion, quartered (no need to peel)

• 3 garlic cloves, crushed

• 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (helps draw nutrients from the bones)

• 1 tsp black peppercorns

• 2 bay leaves

• A few sprigs of fresh thyme or parsley

• Sea salt, to taste

• Filtered water, enough to cover everything (around 3 litres)

Method

1. Prepare your bones
   Place the organic chicken carcasses in a large stockpot or slow cooker. If you’d like a deeper flavour, roast the carcasses first at 200°C for 30 minutes until golden.

2. Add the vegetables and aromatics
   Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, herbs, and spices. Pour in enough filtered water to completely cover the bones, then add the apple cider vinegar.

3. Simmer low and slow
   Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low. Skim off any foam that rises to the top in the first hour. Let it simmer gently for 12–24 hours — the longer it cooks, the richer the flavour and nutrients. If using a slow cooker, set to low and cook overnight.

4. Strain and store
   Once finished, strain the broth through a fine sieve or muslin cloth into a large bowl. Discard the solids. Season with sea salt to taste.

5. Cool and keep
   Let the broth cool completely before transferring to jars or containers. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

🌿 Serving Suggestions

Sip your organic bone broth warm as a daily health tonic, or use it as a base for soups, risottos, or sauces. For an easy, nourishing meal, add shredded organic chicken, noodles, and vegetables for a quick broth bowl.
