Witches Brew
Happy Halloween Ghouls and Gals!
I am always telling people that my chicken bone broth stock looks like a witches brew, with all the chicken feet sticking out of it. So, thought this was the perfect All Hallows Eve card to send to my blog readers and the WAPF Facebook Fans!
For those unfamiliar with bone broths, adding the feet and heads, adds more gelatin and nutrients to the stock. It may look a little scary, but all the bones are strained out, in the end, to make the final product. The feet which are almost all cartilage, they totally melt, and nothing but skin, and very little bone is left at the end.
My neighbor has H1N1, so I am making her a nice chicken soup to help her get better! I am using the Quadruple Healing Broth recipe from Stan Fishman’s cookbook, Tender Grassfed Meat. In addition to chicken bones, it has four different types of alliums, yellow onion, garlic, leeks, green onion.
As the South American proverb says, “a good broth can raise the dead!”
MUR-HAHAHaaaAAAAaaaAAAaaaaa!
Sally Fallon Morell has wonderful bone broth stock recipes in her book, Nourishing Traditions.
See also her fantastic article, which turned me on to a whole new way of cooking, Broth is Beautiful.
I do read your blog on a daily basis; as a goat farmer and a proponent of raw milk, specifically raw goat milk, I certainly consider your blog required reading.

Ha! We just happened to have chicken and rice soup for dinner tonight but it didn’t look 1/2 as good as yours!
I have three huge bags of chicken feet waiting for me in the freezer right now. It makes such a lovely, lovely broth. I made the mistake once of forgetting them in the fridge at work – scared the hell out of my coworkers.

I’ve got something like that brewing on my stove right now also. My husband and I are feeling like we are trying to fight something, so out comes the chicken carcasses,feet, and heads. I also add garlic and ginger to mine. That is our version of a flu shot. Yummy!
OMG – those chicken feet look so funny. I have to say that I’ve never actually made chicken soup with the feet because they kind of freak me out. Great Halloween reference though!
