Instructions

Step 1

Place all ingredients in a large slow cooker set on high. Bring to a boil, then reduce the setting to low for 12-24 hours. The longer it cooks, the better it tastes! Strain the stock through a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter into a large bowl, and discard the waste.

Step 2

To begin your soup, heat fat in a large soup pot until shimmering. Add onion and sauté until tender and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add seasoning and stir to coat with fat. Add protein and vegetables, tossing to coat with onions and fat. Add stock, bring to a boil, and partly cover for 5-7 minutes, until the flavors meld and the soup is piping hot.

Step 3

One these themes to add flavor and personality to the basic soup recipe- or just sip on the broth throughout your day to add extra vitamins, minerals and gut-healing micronutrients to your diet.
