Today, I’m sharing an Easy Chicken Soup Recipe made with chicken bone broth. I make so much bone broth, and I have learned that all of you do too!
But other than drinking it, what can we do with it? In a previous video, I shared Five Ways to Use Bone Broth, and this is one of those ways…make soup!
Why is Bone Broth Important?
If you’re new to my site, first of all…Welcome! But you may be wondering why so much emphasis on bone broth? The reason is that bone broth is so nutritious because it is rich in collagen.
Collagen is good for our bodies. It’s great for making our hair thick, our nails strong, and our skin smooth. But most importantly, collagen soothes our gut lining. If our gut is healthy, we’re better at fending off illness. So soup made with bone broth is a perfect way to work this wonderful elixir into our diets.
An Easy and Customizable Recipe
This easy recipe provides the basic building blocks for creating a delicious Chicken Soup using bone broth. But don’t stop there!
With this formula, you can create any type of chicken soup you like. Add a different mix of vegetables, spices and/or herbs, and you’ll make it your own. And you’ll never grow tired of it because you can make it different every time!
Perfect for Cooler Months
Chicken Soup can be wonderful at any time of the year, especially when you have a cold! With Fall here and temperatures cooling, this is the perfect time for a warming bowl of comfort. So be sure to try making soup with bone broth, and let me know in the comments below how you made it to your liking.

I made this with leftover thanksgiving turkey. Made the bone broth from the carcass. It was perfect!
I did add a handful of freshly chopped parsley at the end, and served each bowl with a lemon wedge. That gave it a bight kick:). Thank you, Mary!
Hi Katherine,
Thanks so much for letting me know. I’m glad that you were able to make bone broth after enjoying your Thanksgiving turkey. And the parsley and lemon with the soup sounds delicious.
Thanks so much for your comment and for being a subscriber and a sweet friend!
Love and God bless,
Mary
