Gut Friendly bone broth recipes

Inspired by my chat with Jo Whitton from Quirky cooking last week about her family’s journey with gut health and the GAPS diet I have put together a collection of lovely, gut healing bone broth recipes – all gluten and dairy free (and mostly grain free too!)
Including more gut friendly, bone broth recipes in your families diet will help to improve
- tummy issues
- mood and mental health
- immune function
- hormone balance
- and so much more!
So let’s get to it!
I often make my chicken bone broth using a whole chicken, or you can make it using just the bones left over from a roast or even a BBQ chicken, find out how to make bone broth here
To start with I am going to share my My Chicken and Vegetable soup
This one’s a great recipe to make on a Sunday for lunches or dinners through the week. You can use any vegetables you have in the fridge or that are in season.
Ingredients
Meat from 1 chicken (Reserved from making broth)
1 onion
2 carrots
2 sticks of celery
6 cloves garlic
1 teaspoon each of dried rosemary and oregano
2 tablespoons tomato paste
400g tin tomatoes
2 litres chicken broth
3 cups cauliflower
2 zucchinis
1 tin kidney or cannellini beans.
Chopped parsley to serve
Method
Saute onion, carrot, and celery in a little olive oil or ghee until softened.
Add dried herbs, tomato paste and garlic, fry off for a minute then add a tin of tomatoes and broth.
Stir in cauliflower and zucchini.
Season with salt and pepper.
Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 minutes.
Add the beans and cooked chicken.
