Bone broth is a nutrient-rich, flavorful ingredient that many people are eager to incorporate into their cooking! In this roundup, I’ve gathered 40+ delicious recipes that highlight the incredible and versatile uses of bone broth. From comforting soups and stews to savory risottos and sauces, these recipes will show you just how essential bone broth can be in your kitchen.
Buying vs Making Bone Broth
When it comes to bone broth, you have the option to either make it at home or buy it pre-made from the store.
Making bone broth at home allows you to control the ingredients, making sure it’s free from preservatives and additives and my favourite part is that you can adjust it to your taste preferences! But it does require time and effort and will have to simmer for 12-24 hours.
Store-bought bone broth offers convenience and can be a great time-saver! Look for options labeled organic and grass-fed to ensure high quality, and always check the ingredient list for any unwanted additives.
Both options have their benefits, so choose what is best for your lifestyle!

How is bone broth different from regular broth or stock?
Bone broth is typically simmered for a much longer time (12-24 hours or more) compared to regular broth or stock. This extended cooking time allows for the extraction of more nutrients, such as collagen and minerals, from the bones.
What are the health benefits of bone broth?
Bone broth is believed to support joint health, improve digestion, boost the immune system, and promote healthy skin, hair, and nails due to its high content of collagen, gelatin, and other nutrients.
How do I store bone broth?
Bone broth can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it in airtight containers or ice cube trays for up to 6 months.
Can I drink bone broth on its own?
Yes, many people enjoy drinking bone broth on its own as a warm, nutritious beverage. You can season it with a little salt and pepper or add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice for extra flavor.

Pin
Serves 4 quarts
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 carrots (chopped medium)
- 2 celery stalks (chopped medium)
- 1 medium onion (chopped medium)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3.5 lb beef or chicken bones (or combination of both)
- Kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- water
Instructions
- Place the bones your slow cooker. The bones should fill up about 3/4 of the slow-cooker.
- Chop your vegetables and garlic, no need to peel. You can also add vegetable scraps and rinsed, crushed egg shells into your slow-cooker. You’ll be straining these out before consuming the broth.
- Fill the slow-cooker with water. Season with a generous amount of salt (about 1 teaspoon).
- Add 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (you won’t notice the taste).
- Cook on low and cook for 18-72 hours.
- Strain the broth through cheesecloth or a strainer and cool. A good broth will usually have a layer of fat on the top, and will gelatinize when thoroughly cool. Remove the fat with a spoon and discard.
