Collagen Bone Broth Soup Recipe

Collagen bone broth is a nutritious and flavorful beverage that can be enjoyed on its own or used as a base for various soups and recipes. Here's a basic recipe for making Collagen Bone Broth Soup:

Ingredients:

• 2-3 pounds of beef or chicken bones (necks, knuckles, and feet work well)

• 1 onion, peeled and halved

• 2 carrots, washed and roughly chopped

• 2 celery stalks, washed and roughly chopped

• 4 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 bay leaves

• 1 teaspoon black peppercorns

• 1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

• 4 cups water

• 2 cups of your favorite vegetables (e.g., kale, spinach, broccoli, or cauliflower)

• 1-2 tablespoons collagen powder (adjust to your preference)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Bones: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bones on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven for about 30-40 minutes until they turn golden brown. This step enhances the flavor of the broth.

2. Simmer the Broth: Transfer the roasted bones to a large stockpot. Add the onion, carrots, celery, minced garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, sea salt, and apple cider vinegar.

3. Add Water: Pour in 4 cups of water or enough to cover the ingredients in the pot.

4. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Allow it to simmer uncovered for at least 6-8 hours for chicken bones and up to 12-24 hours for beef bones. Skim off any foam that forms on the surface during the first hour of simmering.

5. Strain the Broth: Once the broth has simmered and developed a rich flavor, remove it from the heat. Use a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the liquid into a clean container, discarding the solids.

6. Prepare the Vegetables: Chop and steam your favorite vegetables separately until they are tender, but still have some crunch. Set them aside.

7. Combine the Collagen: In a separate bowl, mix 1-2 tablespoons of collagen powder with a small amount of hot water to create a smooth paste.

8. Combine Everything: Return the strained broth to the pot and add the steamed vegetables. Then, whisk in the collagen paste, stirring until it's fully dissolved.

9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper as needed.

To serve, heat the bone soup and enjoy it as a warm, nourishing drink, or use it as a base for stews, and various other recipes. Collagen bone broth is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients and collagen that can benefit your joints, skin, and overall health.
