Hi Lourdes! I had a few posts backed up and just getting to them. One strange discovery upon moving to France was the lack of canned (boxed) broth at the supermarket. Only bouillon cubes 😝 so I started saving chicken bones and making my own bone broth. The best trick I’ve found is doing it in the slow cooker; throw all the bones in add an onion halved some broken up carrots and cover with water. Then I put it on high for around 24 hours. Comes out amazing! And it means I don’t have to watch it or even stay home.

Hi Lourdes, thank you for the info but bone broth is very high in sodium and if I have high blood pressure should I avoid it?

As a general rule, I would opt for the low sodium or unsalted varieties.
