8 Servings
Ingredients
5 organic chicken drumsticks
1 container of Trader Joe's mirepoix OR 1/2 cup of each of the following: onions, celery and carrots.
2 tb. olive oil
2 cups of bone broth (I use the carton of chicken bone broth from Trader Joe's)

Optional: 1 tb. plant based broth mixture (I use Protective Diet Plant Based Broth)
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Directions
1. Warm 2 Tb. of olive oil over medium heat a soup pot and add chicken drumsticks. Stir drumsticks occasionally for about 5 minutes,or until they begin to brown.
2. Add the mirepoix (onion, celery, and carrots) ginger and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables just start to soften, 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Add salt, pepper, bone broth, water and vegetable broth powder (optional).
4. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for as long as possible (I usually do 2 hours to let the collagen from the drumsticks release into the broth).
4. Move the pot off the heat and transfer the chicken to a plate with a slotted spoon. Use 2 forks to pull the meat apart into shreds. Remove and discard any bones and return shredded chicken to the pot.
5. Serve and Enjoy!
Notes
By now, we've all heard the hype about the numerous nutritional benefits of bone broth including glowing skin, less joint pain and gut health. So now that the weather is getting cool, what could be better than a chicken soup that uses whole foods, is gluten free and has collagen and amino acids from an organic bone broth? My kids love this easy and flavorful chicken soup recipe and I hope yours will too!
