Bone Broth Soup

Bone Broth Soup


      Bones used to be used regularly in making soups, stews, sauces and gravy. As with many other healthy components of diet, bones have gone by the wayside as an unnecessary inconvenience. But bones are where the marrow creates blood, both red and white blood cells. Bone broths are wonderful for the immune system. Large predators crack open the bones of their kill and suck out the marrow. They know instinctively that the marrow helps keep them strong and healthy. Incorporated into meat or poultry soups it can help keep us healthy as well.
