Do you make your own broths?
I am one week out from surgery and trying to add some variety since chicken broth is starting to be unappealing to me. I am mixing it up with my protein shakes but want to know what other options you can recommend for broths? any recipes? or tips?
there are y many options, really, for broth. There is beef broth snd vegetable broth.
Broth is bland for a reason. It is gentle on a healing system.
you can make you own broth by boiling any of these ingredients for a long time. Be careful of too much spice right now.
I just made my first batch of homemade broth and it's magical! I took the two carcasses (bones, leftover meat, skin) from Costco rotisserie chickens, put them in my crockpot with salt, pepper, onions, carrots, celery, and bay leaves, plus one tbsp of red wine vinegar. And left on low for 24 hours. Then I strained it through a sieve and put the huge Tupperware in the fridge. Once it was there a few hours, I scooped off the top layer of fat. The rest is a dark and rich chicken broth. I froze in separate containers and used some to make my gravy and my stuffing. Delicious!
One week out from surgery I was using Unjury chicken soup flavored protein powder, but you have to mix it with lukewarm water or it clumps. I also use Miner's chicken base with ho****er (can get it on Amazon, refrigerate it).

With my revision I made my own mostly. Like mentioned it's best not to get to adventurous this close to surgery. It is so much better though!
I used my pressure cooker to make big batches and freeze them in smaller containers.

Here is my go-to for broth. So easy . I would freeze the chicken and save it till you can eat soft foods and grind it in the food processor and make chicken salad.
