Homemade Chicken Broth

Can’t find a low FODMAP chicken broth? Make your own!

Making this chicken broth in a slow cooker is easy and ensures you have a low FODMAP option on hand for future recipes. It can be stored for a week in the refrigerator or frozen for up to three months.

INGREDIENTS:

  • Bones from one chicken

  • 2 medium carrots, cut into large chunks

  • 2 green onions, green parts only

  • 3 bay leaves

  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil (garlic or onion-infused oil is a great choice here!)

  • Dash of turmeric

OPTIONAL ADDITIONS:

  • 1 stalk of celery, cut into large chunks (if you tolerate polyols)

  • Fresh herbs: chives, parsley stems, sprigs of thyme or rosemary, or sage

  • Green leaves from a leek

  • Fennel leaves

DIRECTIONS: 

  1. Combine all ingredients into a slow cooker and cover with water.

  2. Cook for at least eight hours on low.

  3. Strain the broth with a mesh strainer, cheese cloth or coffee filter.

  4. Cool completely before storing.
