I have had a few people ask for my recipes, and I’ve asked for a few as well, so I thought I’d start a thread for Bone Broth recipes. I use an instapot but you can use a crock pot or just a pot on the stove. The stove top process will take longer but should have the same results. For the chicken one I bought 2 roasted chickens from Sams club and after we ate the meat I used the bones. For beef I went to the local meat market and bought a stew bone, I didn’t like the finished product so I’m going to try the Asian market. For pork I used 3 ham hocks.

For all my broths I just combine veggies that I would put in Soup (carrots, celery, mushrooms, onions, broccoli etc), herbs (bay leaf, thyme etc), about 2 chicken skeletons worth of bones and enough Water to cover the bones. I use the soup setting on the instapot to cook it well done for 1 hour. When it’s done I take out the veggies & herbs and replace with fresh, I do this 2 more times with the same bones & liquid. After they cook through 3-4 times I strain the juices into a separate pot and discard the rest, add salt & pepper to taste & let it cool. Once it has cooled there will be a layer of fat on top, just remove it and discard it.

I added the broth into soup containers I found on Amazon and froze them. I have used some of it to make Soups and saved some for the liquid diet stage. When using it for the liquid diet stage warm it up to below 140 degrees, anything hotter will denature the Protein you will be adding to it. Mix in enough tasteless Protein Powder to achieve your protein needs. I believe the website I checked said it should contain 17g of protein but definitely research it, I could be wrong. I have made beef (still looking for recipes, mine was not good), chicken (yum!), pork broths and from those I’ve also made ham/bean soup, turkey zuppa toscana, chicken soup and pumpkin butternut squash soup. I ran half of each batch of soup through the food processor for the purée stage. Feel free to add your own recipes to this thread, we can help each other through this .

i guess i must be the only one, but that Bone Broth smells terrible to me.

I basically make mine like Soup with herbs and veggies and take out the veggies & bones when it’s done and I love it. I am a big soup eater though so that may be a contributor for me. Im actually looking forward to my broth phase, I already started using it to replace my Snacks. I’m sorry yours wasn’t good, it’s not for everyone I guess [emoji20]


Have a great day!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
