Homemade Broth for the Win!

This recipe is unique- there is no exact measurement. In an effort to reduce waste in our house, we keep all vegetable trimmings that accumulate over the week. Every time we chop an onion or peel a potato, we keep the scraps in a freezer bag. My most recent broth consisted of kale, onions, leeks, carrots, celery, and a chicken carcass. I put the vegetable trimmings and chicken bones in a crockpot and filled it with water. I left the crockpot on low for 10 hours. Afterward, I drained the contents of the crockpot. All of the nutrients are then secreted into the water and the flavor is superb! This is one of my favorite immune booster hacks :) Use the broth immediately or store in your freezer for future.

Feel free to use only vegetables or only bones when creating your broth. If you are using bones, you will have to scrap the fat off the top of the broth once it's finished and has been refrigerated. Have fun with this recipe and make it your own!
