Bone Broth 101 - Page 8

Castle On A Cloud · 09-17-2012, 05:04 PM

I make chicken stock (perpetual in the crock pot) all the time... but I mostly used it in sauces and stuff like that... Today I pulled some out of the crockpot to make chicken soup. And now i have all my chicken and veggies in the soup, and it tastes like greasy water:/ i dont know what is going on here:/ There is a bunch of spices, and it just does not taste good

Stiina · 09-17-2012, 05:27 PM

Salt! More salt!!! Lots and LOTS of salt!!!!!

Castle On A Cloud · 09-17-2012, 05:35 PM

ok, like HOW much salt??? There is about 8 cups of broth, several cups of chicken. 2 onions, a bunch of carrots and celery, and two types of spice mixes, a head of garlic. and I think I might have 1/4 c of salt, at LEAST...

How long had the broth been going?

Castle On A Cloud · 09-17-2012, 06:04 PM

sometime yestarday... you know. i was skimmimg spoonfulls off the top... when i used a ladle to serve the kids, and pulled from the bottom, the taste was insanely different... in a super awesome way

there is some coconut oil in there ( we roasted chickens with coc. oil and used the body and the drippings...) so i think it might be that it was floating to the top???

I pulled a turkey drumstick out of the freezer this morning and plopped it into a stockpot with carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaf & peppercorns. Reading this, I think I'll skim off what we need and then replace the water and let it go again.

Looking forward to roasting a capon for Thanksgiving in a few weeks and making broth with the carcass. I've also done it with chicken that I've smoked on the grill. Wow, was that good broth!

What size pot/amount of water?

Ajani · 09-18-2012, 01:30 PM

Um... not sure. Not huge. 12qt, tops. Maybe 8. I don't do huge batches.

It's been quite awhile since I've made chicken stock. Does this sound right?

1 chicken carcass with meat on the bones
10-12 cups filtered water
2-3 carrots
2 ribs celery
1/2 small onion
1 smashed clove of garlic
handful of peppercorns
2 bay leaves
1 sprig of rosemary
sprinkling of sea salt
glug of white wine vinegar

It's in the crockpot on high and I'll turn it down to low once it starts to bubble. I hope to use some on Saturday for chicken and noodles with dumplings. Do you think that will work? Then do I add more water to take the place of what I remove on Saturday? How many more days should I let it go?

shaslove · 09-20-2012, 09:39 AM

I do not add anything to mine. My chicken cooked with salt and pepper and I just add water

If I know I'll be using the broth for soup, I'll season it accordingly when making the broth. If I'm not sure what I'll be using it for, I'll do it plain like that. I always add a glug of ACV to help draw out the minerals in the bones though.

charla · 09-22-2012, 06:54 PM

Oh my stars, that chicken broth is so delicious. I used it tonight for chicken noodle and dumpling soup. My kids loved it so that's a huge plus. It had to be salted quite a bit like Stiina said. I used almost all the broth in the crockpot so I added a bunch more water and am going to try to get more out of it. Is it really going to work the second time with the same chicken carcass?

raining_kisses · 09-22-2012, 06:58 PM

It does take a lot of salt, but think about the amount of sodium that canned soup has and it makes you feel better.

I made chicken tortilla soup with chicken bone broth tonight. HUGE hit. Bone broth makes everything better.

My fb status from this morning is

The moment when you wake up and think "whats that smell!!??" only to realize you have bone broth going in the crock pot.

It gets me every time.

Stiina · 09-22-2012, 08:21 PM

ohmigosh YES!!! I'm always in a half-panic when I come in from outside/wake up in the morning.

Totally agree that it makeseverything taste better. I made a normal old "must-go" goulash in the skillet the other night, cooked with bone broth throughout the process. WAYYYYYYYYYY better than usual.

Ok my current batch is hilarious. I pretty much filled my crock with bones because they were all frozen together....there wasn't a ton of water in it so the broth was pretty concentrated. I pulled out my first quart yesterday and put it in the fridge - I went to use it today and it's Beef Jello.

Ok, yes, now I believe you that gelatin comes from animals. WOW. Totally cool!!!!!

Charla - yes, it will work

Good luck!!!!

I've been heating a few cubes of frozen, concentrated chicken broth and water for Bella and me to drink with breakfast! She downs a cupful with her oatmeal.
