Nutritious & Delicious Broth

This broth was made with a leftover rabbit; swap out the rabbit with chicken if this doesn't suit your fancy.

This recipe has been tried and tested. It’s one of our many staples here in our kitchen! At Urban Chicks, we aim to utilize animals to their maximum potential. This means reusing their carcass after we have picked it for a meal.

Our rich broth is used in numerous recipes here. However, we didn’t create this on our own. This recipe was learned from the rabbit community! Being part of this community has taught us many ways to utilize and substitute meat from our rabbits.

Nutritious & Delicious Broth

Your Ingredients

• Meat Bones

• Onion - 1

• Carrots - 3

• Peppercorn - 2 pinches

• Bay Leaf - 3

• Celery - 2 or 3 stalks

  
  

Directions

Omit the animal carcass if you desire a vegetable broth, and add more vegetables to compensate for the carcass.

1. Set Up Your Crockpot

   Get your crockpot ready. Turn it on low for overnight cooking. If you need a quicker option, switch it to high.

   
   

2. Prep Your Ingredients

   Take the carcass and place it in the crockpot. Next, add the carrots, celery, onions, and spices.

   
   

3. Add Water

   Fill the crockpot with water until it covers all the ingredients.

   
   

4. Mix and Monitor

   Stir occasionally to mix the flavors. If water evaporates, add more to keep everything covered.

   
   

5. Strain the Broth

   Once done, strain your concoction over a large bowl. (You can feed the strainer full to your chickens!)

   
   

6. Preserve or Use

   Grab your jars and process them if you plan on preserving the broth. Otherwise, your broth is ready for use!
