MUTTON BONE BROTH SOUP

Bone broth is a key ingredient in gut health.  Simmering bones gently over a long time releases a variety of powerful nutrients.  These minerals are easy to digest in this liquid form and are great for boosting your immune system.  Use this broth as a soup or add it to casseroles and slow cooker meals.  You can even add to simple dishes such as mashed potato or risotto.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1kg roasted lamb bones
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 cups carrot and celery scraps
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 2 sprigs of thyme

SLOW COOKER METHOD
