A great recipe to warm up to on cold wintry days, this comforting stew is also great to support digestive health. Black beans are rich in fibre, iron, magnesium, potassium, and folic acid. Butternut squash is another amazingly nutrient-rich food that keeps the colon healthier.

Roast Chicken and Astragalus Bone Broth
This was the simplest recipe I found, and it's very adaptable, depending on the kind of veggie scraps. No waste! I also recommend adding in some astragalus root to help support your immune system.

Ingredients
  1. 1 leftover roast chicken carcass
  2. vegetable scraps (celery leaves, onion trimmings, carrot peels, garlic etc)
  3. 2 bay leafs
  4. 1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  5. 1-3 Tablespoons of astragalus root
  6. water
Instructions
  1. Add the chicken carcass, vegetable scraps, bay leafs, and astragalus to a slow cooker.
  2. Pour filtered water over the carcass to cover.
  3. Add apple cider vinegar. The apple cider vinegar will help to extract the minerals out of the bones.
  4. Cook in your slow cooker on low heat for 24 hours or longer.
  5. By adding water to the cooker, you can continue to cook the broth until the chicken bones become flexible and rubbery.
  6. Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve and pour into storage containers.
  7. The broth should gel, but it is not necessary.
Notes
  1. Bone broths are rich in minerals, glucosamine, and chondroitin, helping to restore joint health, digestive health, skin, and immune system.
