Print Recipe

A light and nourishing bone broth soup designed for the GAPS diet, perfect for summer with simple ingredients that support gut health and digestion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2–3 pounds grass-fed beef or organic chicken bones (900-1350g)
  • 10 cups filtered water (2.4 liters)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 medium carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1 large yellow onion, quartered
  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed
  • A small bunch fresh parsley
  • 3–4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Sea salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread bones on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes until browned. (Optional for richer flavor.)
  2. Transfer roasted bones to a large stockpot or slow cooker. Add filtered water to cover bones completely (about 10 cups).
  3. Add 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar and let sit for 20-30 minutes before heating.
  4. Add chopped carrots, celery, quartered onion, smashed garlic cloves, peppercorns, and a pinch of sea salt.
  5. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low. Maintain a low simmer and cook for 6-12 hours, skimming foam and impurities occasionally.
  6. Add fresh parsley and thyme sprigs in the last 30 minutes of simmering.
  7. Remove bones and vegetables with tongs or slotted spoon. Strain broth through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl or pot.
  8. Let broth cool slightly, then transfer to glass containers. Refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months.

Notes

Do not boil the broth hard to avoid cloudiness and bitterness; maintain a gentle simmer around 190-200°F (88-93°C). Skim impurities regularly. Resting the bones in vinegar before heating helps extract minerals. Slow cooker yields richer broth; stovetop is faster. Adjust salt to taste before serving. Broth gels when chilled due to collagen.
