Ginger-Turmeric Bone Broth

This deeply nourishing bone broth is infused with the warm, earthy flavors of ginger and turmeric. It is designed to be a comforting staple that fits well into an joint-supportive diet approach. Individual results vary when making dietary changes for uric acid support.

What You'll Need

• 2 lbs chicken or beef bones
• 1 3-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder (or 1-inch fresh turmeric, grated)
• 3 garlic cloves, smashed
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 bay leaves
• 8 cups water
• Salt to taste

Prep Time & Yield

• Prep time: 10 minutes
• Cook time: 4 to 8 hours
• Yield: 4 servings

Instructions

1. Place the bones in a large pot or slow cooker.
2. Add the sliced ginger, turmeric, garlic cloves, apple cider vinegar, and bay leaves.
3. Pour the water over the ingredients, ensuring the bones are fully submerged.

4. Bring the pot to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting to maintain a slow simmer. Cover the pot.
5. Let the broth simmer for 4 to 8 hours. Skim off any foam that rises to the top occasionally.
6. Once finished, remove the pot from the heat and let it cool slightly.
7. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or storage containers, discarding the solids. Add salt to taste.

Why This Works

Bone broth provides a savory, nutrient-rich base, while ginger and turmeric are well-known ingredients that research suggests may support a balanced inflammatory response. The apple cider vinegar helps extract nutrients from the bones during the simmering process. Individual results vary, but this broth is a thoughtful, savory addition to any routine.

Serving Suggestions

Sip a warm mug of this broth on its own, or use it as a flavorful base for soups and stews. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days or frozen for longer-term use.
