I have been sick more this year than I can ever remember in the past! About the time I'm finally over the crap of the month, here comes something else! I told my GM yesterday that I'm going to start firing people for not staying home when they're sick! Well, he asked if I was resigning since I was at work and not well.... Ok, maybe I overreacted a bit. 😳
One thing I've always made, or had made for me as a child, when sick is homemade chicken noodle soup, but that won't work for my WOE, so I took 2 bags of left over rotisserie chickens I did last week and tossed them into my 4-gallon pot along with some celery, onions, peppercorns, and a few bay leaves, brought it to a boil, and then let it simmer all night.
This morning, I turned it off, strained the stock, and then jarred it up. 3.5 gallons of water turned into just over 3.5 quarts of very rich stock, also known as, bone broth.... After it cooled to room temp in the jars, I put it in the frig. Well, I just went in to make myself a cup, and it's now gelatinous! I mean jello consistency! That's when you know that you've gotten ALL the good stuff from them bones!
This broth is easy on the throat, and really helps to open my head up. It may not be pretty to look at, but it sure is nice to have and easy on the body...
