  1. Thanks for sharing this. It’s probably one of the easiest recipes I’ve read and I hope I can make it once I’m not too busy anymore. But because I love bone broth I bought Au Bon Broth. I’m liking it so far, it’s tasty and delicious. Other than that, it’s organic too.

    1. some say it is to help “pull” minerals from the bones. There isn’t a definitive scientific yes or no on this, so at this time, I don’t always do it. If I remember, it does add a bit of flavor, but I am not obsessive about it.
