I eat a lot of homemade chicken soup and I almost never get sick. Not even on Friday nights.
Bone broth is awesome. Collagen is key. It’s the body’s glue.

I’m a big fan. For whatever reason, here in MA, I’ve hard trouble finding material. I’m in the middle of nowhere. It’s a bit of a trip, by Whole Foods has chicken backs (frozen) and I know of an Asian market that carries knuckle bones, chicken feet, and split pig’s feet. Once in a whole I stock up on parts and then try to make a batch of broth once a week.
Got a recipe, made some from chicken bones. It was bleh, a waste of electricity. I do, however, buy organic beef or chicken bone broth in cartons. Kroger has good one with low-sodium, and various other places have other brands.
Then just toss chicken legs and thighs or stew beef into the pot with tons of veggies, and simmer slowly for a delish meal. Little red potatoes, carrots, celery are the usual and I also like parsnips, turnips and sometimes rutabaga. a clove of garlic squeezed through garlic press. Chopped onions if you like them.
Really whatever you like. There’s no wrong way to make stew, nor to make salad for that matter.
Other great thing about it is making enough for three or four days and freezing what you don’t eat.

Organic chicken. Mirapoix - onion, celery, carrots, garlic- cover with cold water. 20 hours in slow cooker. All the collagen comes out. Now you have broth and meat. That’s where I start.
I can’t cook but I hang around people who can and do.
I’ve been served bone broth on occasion. Every time, needs a little something but I have no idea what. Or maybe something less of something!
I learned about bone broth years ago on Free Republic from Greeneyes. She would have loved this article.
My wife boils up this wretched stuff; the smell just about kills me. But she swears by it.
Bone broth? Stock is made from bone. Broth is made from meat.
Caldo de Res. You’re welcome.
Bone broth in the Instant Pot is a gift that keeps on giving. 120 min per batch.
You can reuse the same bones over a few times. They look dry and like they have nothing left to give and yet the broth is nearly as rich as batch #1
You have to “Tune in, tomorrow” to get their bone broth recipe.
