Instructions
- How to make smoked chicken bone broth? After you smoke your whole chicken and have it for dinner, add the carcass into a slow cooker (Affiliate Link), add 1 tbsp of Apple Cider vinegar and fill with water to cover the whole chicken. On low, cook for 16 hours. I usually do it overnight till lunch the next day. Remove the chicken carcass (trash) and then strain the liquid and place it in a glass container (Affiliate Link). Store in the fridge to get cold.
- How to make the soup? In a deep large saucepan, add butter and coconut oil to melt the butter and heat the oil.
- Add the diced carrots, celery, onions to the butter and coconut oil. saute till caramelized and lightly brown about 10 minutes.
- Add the potatoes, green beans, tomatoes, zucchini, kale, cannellini beans, and room temperature broth. Bring to a boil. If your broth is cold, it will take time for this to happen. Then, reduce heat to low and simmer for 25 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender.
- Turn off the range and let sit in the saucepan to get to room temperature. Feel free to refrigerate after that if you want. Add salt and pepper to taste. I didn't add any until I served it.
