WHAT'S SPECIAL
Chicken Bone Broth Soup is known for its soothing, immune-boosting properties. This slow-cooked broth is packed with nutrients that support digestion, immunity, and hydration. Unlike regular chicken broth, bone broth is simmered for a long time to release collagen, amino acids, and minerals from the bones, making it an exceptionally healthy and nourishing soup.
Chicken Bone Broth Soup is a flavorful and nutrient-dense soup made by simmering chicken bones, vegetables, and herbs for hours. This cooking process extracts gelatin and collagen from the bones, providing essential nutrients that promote gut health, reduce inflammation, and support the immune system. Chicken bone broth is often used as a healing food, especially during cold and flu season, but it also serves as an excellent base for other soups and dishes.
