Tips:

To simplify prep work, take advantage of pre-chopped vegetables from the produce department of the grocery store.

Chicken bone broth is a nutritious stock made by simmering bones, joints and aromatics in water for a long period of time. The resulting liquid is thick, rich in protein, collagen and gelatin, and makes a delicious base for soups and stews. Look for it in the same aisle as chicken broth.
