Is there anything better than a hot bowl of soup on a cold winter’s night?
Soups are an easy (and cheap!) way to jam-pack the nutrients into your meals. And that nutrient factor really heats up when you prep a batch of your very own stock in advance!
That’s right, stock doesn’t just come in those little foiled cubes or a prepackaged carton. It’s so easy to whip up your own from leftover scraps, simply by chucking veggies and/or bones in a pot and simmering for a “souper” long time.
Wondering about the difference between stock and the ubiquitous “bone broth”? “It’s essentially the same stuff,” says Sarah. “Food fad cynics hate it when stock is called broth. Thus I call it bone stock.”
Sarah’s written extensively on the health benefits of making your own stock, from boosting immunity and aiding digestion to combating stress and inflammation.
