Dr. Kellyann's Healing Bone Broth

Ingredients

• 1 whole Chicken Carcass or Rotisserie Chicken Bones (Use a whole carcass or leftover bones from a rotisserie chicken; break apart to expose cartilage)
• 12 cups Water (Enough to fully cover bones and vegetables in the slow cooker)
• 3 stalks Celery Stalks (Break into large pieces; no need to peel)
• 1 large Onion (Trim bottom; onion will peel itself when broken; cut into quarters)
• 2 medium Carrots (Break into large chunks; no need to peel)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (Freshly squeezed; acts as acid to draw minerals from bone)
• 1 teaspoon Turmeric Powder (Anti‑inflammatory; adds golden hue)
• ½ teaspoon Pink Himalayan Salt (Mineral‑rich; avoid table salt with anti‑caking agents)
• 1 stalk Lemongrass (Bruise and cut into 2‑inch pieces; adds citrus aroma)
• 1 inch Fresh Ginger (Slice or roughly crush; no need to peel)

Instructions

1. Prepare Bones

   If using a whole chicken carcass, break it apart to expose as much cartilage as possible. If using a rotisserie chicken, remove the meat and keep the bones and skin.

   Time: PT5M

2. Rough‑Chop Vegetables

   Break celery stalks, carrots, and onion into large chunks. No need to peel; just give them a quick scrub.

   Time: PT5M

3. Add Aromatics

   Place bones, vegetables, lemongrass stalk, ginger pieces, turmeric, and pink salt into the slow cooker.

   Time: PT2M

4. Add Acid and Water

   Squeeze 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice over the ingredients, then pour in 12 cups cold water until everything is fully covered.

   Time: PT2M

5. Slow Cook

   Cover the slow cooker and set it to LOW. Cook for 12 hours (minimum 8 hours, up to 24 hours for extra gelatin).

   Time: PT12H

6. Strain the Broth

   After cooking, carefully remove the lid. Using a ladle, transfer broth through a fine‑mesh strainer into a large bowl, discarding solids.

   Time: PT5M

7. Cool and Store

   Allow the strained broth to come to room temperature, then refrigerate. It will gel within a few hours, indicating gelatin extraction.

   Time: PT2H
