Magical Elixir Healing Soup

Magical Elixir Healing Chicken Beef Soup

Are you looking for more energy? Want to serve a delicious and nutritious soup to your family? This magical elixir healing soup is easy to make, and you can freeze any leftovers.

This soup is my version of the meat stock for Stage One of the GAPS diet, a healing diet. Also on Stage 1 are ferments (the juice of the brine, not the vegetables) such as sauerkraut (just sea salt and cabbage).

Ingredients

2-3 lbs. chicken bones
3 beef marrow bones
Filtered water, enough to cover the chicken and beef bones
3 Tbsp. Redmond Real Salt or Celtic Salt
2 small onions
2 carrots, peeled and cut into coin shapes (optional)
2 stalks celery with leaves
1-2 garlic cloves (optional)
2 peppercorns (optional)
3 white turnips, peeled and cut (optional)

Recipe for the soup

Put chicken bones and beef bones in a large pot. Fill water to cover the bones. Add the salt. Cook on medium, then simmer when it comes to a boil. Add the vegetables about 1 hour before serving. Cook for 2-3 hours total.

Note: whenever you can, use local produce. Get to know your local farmers.
