![Did you know bone broth is NOT micronutrient-rich? More —>
.
It’s cold and raining here. All I can think about is soup 🍲 so we got Pho. I always ask for half the rice noodles and add steamed veggies to increase the nutrients and decrease unnecessary carbs.
.
There’s lots of BS on the internet [period. but also about broth specifically]. We’ve done a TON of research and the fact is, broth is a superfood because of the type of amino acids and collagen in it, not “micronutrients.” Glycine, arginine, glutamine, and cysteine are anti-inflammatory to boost immunity and help heal all kinds of things in the body - from healing the gut by closing opened tight junctions to nourishing our skin, hair, nails and lubricating our joints. But it’s NOT a high source of micronutrients like iron or Vitamins (as is often claimed) until you add veggies!
.
My tip (as the “broth lady” of the internets) is to only make your bone broth with enough water to cover the bones, and cook until soft. Depending on the bones that is usually 2 @instantpotofficial manual cycles, 24-48 hours stove top, or even longer (2-4 days) for a slow cooker.
.
Imagine how over cooked and bitter veggies would taste if you added them at the beginning of that LONG cooking cycle?! They’re much softer than bones! Absolutely I want you to add veggies for flavor and nutrients, but add them at the end! And add even more to your soups! 👉 Here’s some of my favorites veggie-rich soups: http://realeverything.com/souping-recipes-to-heal-your-gut
.
Fun fact: I also always order the Pho version with tripe and soft tendons for added nutrients. You’ll never taste them with all that goodness, and organ meats are super nutrient-rich!
