Crockpot 24 Hour Chicken Broth

Chicken soup is good for many things, and this recipe, is extra healthy - cooked very slowly for 24 hours, and first soaked for an hour, chicken soup is a source of many essential nutrients and is rumoured to even help the common cold and sore throat! Chicken soup contains minerals in a form that the body can absorb easily, and these include: calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, silicon, sulphur and other trace minerals.

It is an easy soup to make and if you do not have a slow cooker, just cook it for a few hours on the lowest flame you have and you will also get a good result.

Apple cider vinegar is added as this draws extra calcium from the bones, and you will not taste it in the finished product.

The soup can also be frozen, and I often freeze some in ice cubes as it is handy in sauces, and so much healthier than the packet/canned ones.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes plus standing time
Cooking Time: up to 24 hours
Makes: about 6 - 8 cups

Ingredients
4 - 6 chicken frames (I used free range)
2 onions
4 - 6 stalks celery
Carrots (optional)
2 bay leaves
2 - 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar (this draws additional calcium from the bones)
