Today I was at the store looking for chicken broth.  You know, the broth that you get from boiling a chicken, right?  Well, I picked up swanson which I’ve used in the past and the front said no msg…good. Then I happened to glance at the ingredients.  Yeast extract.  What the heck is yeast extract?  It also said a few other things that I didn’t know and that the item may contain milk, soy or wheat.  Ummm…in chicken broth?  Chicken BROTH?  What??  I don’t think so.  I picked up the store brand healthier options and it was the same thing…yeast extract and may contain wheat.

With Nathan being g free, I knew that wasn’t going to work and I decided I’d just make my own.  You know, chicken broth, from boiling a chicken!  I don’t know why I am constantly amazed at the junk that is in the food we eat, but it still surprises me!  I bought a good free ranger and went to town.

I happily boiled my chicken with onion, carrot and celery and thanks to my Mom’s advice, a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar.  It does something with drawing out the good stuff inside the bone marrow.

Now I have all these containers of…wait, can you guess?  Chicken broth!!  And not a hint of yeast anything.  Or milk.  Or soy.  Or even wheat!

  It made about 14 cups of broth.  Not too shabby if you ask me!
