Keto Bone Broth Recipe
This chicken soup with drumsticks recipe is easy, cheap and a nutritious meal to enjoy through Winter. (And through the year when you’re craving a healing, warming meal.)
I like to make soup with drumsticks because they are a budget friendly piece of chicken and make a flavorful broth with tender chicken. I’ve made my broth on the stove top but you can feel free to make yours in a slow cooker or even a pressure cooker, following your machines directions. (Here are more cheap keto meals.)
Mixing a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar through the soup adds flavor and helps draw the nutrients and minerals from the bones. Which explains the healing nature of chicken soup that’s excellent for your immune system and weight loss goals.
You may even find that consuming a cup of bone broth on a regular basis will help with your digestive health, joint health and even avoid dreaded keto flu symptoms if you’re still in a transition period with your diet and adapting to a state of ketosis or intermittent fasting.
The recipe makes an easy way to create a simple soup, and you can also add other keto diet friendly simple ingredients into your homemade bone broth and enjoy future uses for the pot of broth, here are some ideas:
- Broccoli
- Cauliflower
- Leek
- A small amount of root vegetables
- Add more healthy fats by mixing through sour cream, heavy cream or MCT oil to cups of bone broth
- Zucchini or Zucchini Noodles
- Use bone broth in place of stock in you keto friendly soup of choice that’s low in grams of carbs
In this instance I’ve used chicken drumsticks but you can also follow the same recipe and boil up a whole chicken or chicken wings, that are perfect for slow cooking to create a warming traditional bone broth or chicken stock that’s low in net carbs.
You can even reuse the chicken bones to make another pot of broth, which is a great way to enjoy the benefits of bone broth for many meals to come.
Keto Bone Broth Recipe
- 1kg/2.2lbs Chicken Drumsticks
- 1 Onion, peeled and chopped
- 3-4 Garlic Cloves, peeled and chopped
- Sea Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
- Stock or Water
- 1 Tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar
- Coconut Oil, for cooking
- Heat the coconut oil or olive oil in a large saucepan, and, when hot, add the chicken drumsticks, along with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Cook the chicken drumsticks, tossing a couple of times, until browned on all sides.
- Add in the chopped onion and garlic and cook until starting to brown and soften.
- Pour over stock or water, to cover, the apple cider vinegar and more salt and pepper.
- Bring the soup up to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1.5 to 2.5 hours. The longer you simmer the soup for the richer flavor you’ll enjoy will be.
- Once cooked to your liking, take the drumsticks out of the soup and remove the chicken from the bones. As it’s been cooking for a couple of hours, you’ll find that a simple spoon will pull the chicken apart.
- Return the chicken to the soup and serve. You can save the bones to make another pot of soup.
