Bone broth by the cup

Mom praises the simplicity of broth:
So, you’ve already made your delectable broth [how to make bone broth]. You have a number of options, but don’t forget to enjoy your broth just as it is. I tend to forget this one because I love to use broth in a number of dishes that just insist on homemade bone broth.
Last year I was sick for a week, not eating anything. There comes a point where you know you’d better put something in that tummy or you’re going to be sick for a lot longer. I went to the fridge. Ugh, food!
Then my eyes fell on the jar of broth that had not been used up since I wasn’t cooking. I warmed it up a bit and poured it into a cup. It is amazing how that stuff went down! My cup of broth was the best thing in the house for the next week. I added a bit of garlic salt and a sprinkle of pepper once my appetite really kicked in.
My energy and sense of well-being immediately improved. And, no wonder! Broth is full of water-soluble vitamins and minerals all ready to be absorbed into your bloodstream. My body was really happy.
Even if you are not sick, this broth pick-me-up is a God-send. Have a cup in the mid morning or mid afternoon slump. You’ll get more of a boost with this than with caffeine or sugar and you won’t have any bad side effects with the broth.
Consider taking warm broth with you on a day trip, a picnic, in your brown bag for the morning coffee break. Have a cup with your breakfast. Sneak it in wherever you can. Your improved health and energy level will be quite apparent.
Even though I have given you simple soup ideas for using up your broth stash, don’t forget the humble cup of broth.
