My Nonna's Brodo

Healthy recipes

INGREDIENTS:

πŸ₯¬1/4 celery with leaves

πŸ₯¬1/3 bunch parsley

πŸ₯¬ 1 onion - with skin on, chopped in half

πŸ₯¬ 2 bay leaves

πŸ₯¬ 1 free range chicken (organic preferably)

πŸ₯¬ 2 vegetable stock cubes

πŸ₯¬ 3 medium carrots

πŸ₯¬ water to cover everything

πŸ₯¬ pepper to taste

METHOD

πŸ§… Put all ingredients in large saucepan

πŸ§… Cover with water - to well above the height of the chicken. Note, if water boils down during cooking, can add extra

πŸ§… Bring to boil and simmer for 2-3 hours (or pressure cook for approx an hour)

πŸ§… Strain all ingredients and set aside

πŸ§… Use clear broth on its own… or as my Nonna used to: add back in mashed carrot, chopped celery and chicken. She also used to stir in an egg and add rice… then top with grated parmesan

πŸ§… My children currently like to eat the clear broth with rice vermicelli noodles. My son likes grated parmesan on top. I will gradually add in the vegies as I can!.. work in progress!

This recipe can be enjoyed by the whole family - it has such flexibility with the different variations - can suit all taste buds and fussiness! The broth alone is still nutrient rich and great for the immune system.

Enjoy!
