Sickness Takes Down the Cavegirl!


Coughing, sneezing, sinus pain, aches…yep its that season!  It hit me hard in the middle of Valentine’s Day week.  Since starting to learn about the Paleo diet I’ve been hearing about the benefits of bone broth which is just what it says…a broth made out of bones.  Chicken bones, beef bones, pork bones…there is some good nourishment in them bones!  Hubby thought I was delirious from my weakened state when I decided to make my own bone broth/chicken soup from scratch, especially because he knows with have a pantry full of CampBells and Progressive.

I like to roast a chicken every other week and so I’ve been saving the bones to give this a try.  Here is a video that explains how to make the broth:



It was very low effort; throw it all in the pot and let it simmer for a few hours. Then strain it-yes, takes out all the bones and you just have the stock.

I used this recipe to make the soup.  I picked it because of the billions of chicken soup recipes online I actually had all the ingredients for this one!

The soup came out great!  No pics of the family enjoying it this week because I took my bowl of soup back to my bed.

Does chicken soup really help you to feel better when you are sick?  Have you ever cooked bones?
