06.15.23

Wondering how to use bone broth? This delicious broth can be used in extravagant dinners or even enjoyed on its own! Here, we show you our favorite ways to use bone broth, including how to cook with it and how to incorporate it into your daily routine.

Enjoying Bone Broth on Its Own

While bone broth is often used as a base for hearty soups and recipes, the broth can also be delicious and satisfying on its own.

As a Warm Beverage

Drinks often default to the sweet side of the flavor spectrum, but beverages can be savory too! Fresh, steamy broth from a thermos will warm you up on a nippy evening.

Broth as a beverage has a practical advantage, too. It’s a convenient source of protein when you’re in a hurry before a little league game or an important morning meeting.

With a Few Simple Additions

You don’t have to consume the broth straight. Get creative! Feel free to add in hot sauce, fresh herbs, garlic powder, jalapeno slices or any other add-ins you like. There are no rules for how to enjoy bone broth.

If you like the idea of sipping broth but need it to be a bit more filling, that’s easy. Toss in some coconut oil or add just a bit of butter or ghee.

Cooking With Bone Broth

Bone broth has a way of boosting the flavor of your favorite recipes, from soups to sauces. Let’s dive into a few different ways you can use bone broth to create some delicious recipes.

As a Base in Other Beverages

Bone broth can be used as a base in a wide range of beverages. For example, try out this Lemon & Ginger Chicken Bone Broth Toddy for a quick and warm treat.

In Soups and Stews

Chicken and beef bone broths are popular choices for soup and stew recipes. These broths can be used as simple bases for your favorite dishes, from chicken and wild rice soup to pho.

Risotto, Pasta and Grains

Risotto, pasta, rice and other grains make great additions to bone broth. These ingredients soak in the broth and hold onto the delicious flavor. For example, try this delicious Grilled Chicken and Wild Rice Bone Broth Bowl recipe.

Sauces

Whether it’s spaghetti sauce or another family favorite, bone broth can be a great addition to your favorite recipe or work as a substitute for other broths.

Incorporating Bone Broth Into Your Daily Routine

It’s no secret that making bone broth can take time. To easily incorporate bone broth into your daily routine, consider these tips.

Meal Planning and Prep

Do you plan to use bone broth in all of your favorite recipes? Or, maybe you plan to sip a cup of bone broth each day. Regardless of how you plan to use it, you can easily pick up pre-made bone broth at your local grocery store. For example, Pacific Foods offers bone broth that’s both delicious and nutritious.

Storage and Freezing

To keep your Pacific Foods bone broth fresh, store it in the refrigerator and use it within 7 to 10 days. If you want to keep your bone broth fresh for longer, then you’ll want to freeze it.

You can put the broth in gallon bags, plastic jars or mason jars and keep it in the freezer. When you’re ready to use it, simply thaw it in the refrigerator

Purchase Bone Broth

Of course, you can also purchase bone broth that’s already made for you. Pacific Foods offers both chicken and beef bone broth, with each featuring 9 grams of collagen protein per serving.
