NUTRITIOUS CHICKEN BROTH

This chicken broth is both nutritious and delicious! Pour a generous amount over kibble to moisten your dog's meal, helping the food move through the digestive track faster and more efficiently.   Note: Onions are noticeably absent from the recipe as they can be extremely toxic to pets. 2-3 lbs cooked chicken bones (save them from your dinner plate in the freezer until you've got enough for the recipe or purchase inexpensive chicken backs and roast in the oven before using, for intensified flavor)

3 scrubbed organic carrots, coarsely chopped
3 stalks organic celery, coarsely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
Generous handful fresh parsley, chopped
½ tsp. sea salt
1 Tbsp. apple cider vinegar
3 quarts water

Bring chicken and water to a boil in a large stockpot with tight-fitting lid. Skim foam that rises to the top and reduce heat to med-low. Smash bones with a wooden spoon, which will allow more nutrients to leach out into broth. Add remainder of ingredients, cover and simmer for a minimum of 3 hours. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Strain broth and store in refrigerator. Use or freeze within 1 week.
