Nature is so much more than what we see for us that it is constantly working for our good. Seasonal fruits and vegetables are the biggest proof of this. Because these foods not only grow according to hot and cold weather conditions, but also provide effects that are suitable for the seasonal needs of our body. Ginger, whose harvest time coincides with the last months of the year, is one of them. Make your chicken broth with ginger. Bon Appetit!
Wash and drain the chicken thighs and put them in a saucepan. You can also use chicken breast bones for soup instead of thighs. Cut the onions, garlic and carrots into large pieces.
Add parsley, celery stalks, bay leaves, salt and pepper together with the chicken and put all the ingredients in the pot. Peel and coarsely chop 1-2 fingers of ginger and add it. Add enough cold water to cover it by 4-5 inches.
Put your pot on high heat first and when it starts to click, take it to low heat and boil it for 2 hours without bubbling.
Remove the chicken broth from the fire and pour it into sterilized, dried canning jars by straining it with a wire strainer while it is hot. Close the lids tightly. Turn them upside down, cover them with a cloth and let them cool. When it cools down, put it in the fridge.
If you want to store it for a long time, you can freeze it in the freezer by putting it in ice molds. Put the frozen chicken broth molds in a ziplock bag and use as needed. Bon Appetit!

Chicken Leg:
Chicken thigh offers high-quality protein for muscle development. With B6 and B12 vitamins, it supports energy metabolism and contributes to nervous system health. While containing less saturated fat than red meat, it strengthens immunity with iron and zinc. Its collagen content is particularly beneficial for skin and joint health. It pairs wonderfully with vegetables like potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, and herbs such as thyme and garlic.
Ginger:
Ginger is a versatile root plant known for its pungent aroma and warming effect. It effectively aids digestion, alleviating nausea and indigestion. Thanks to its strong anti-inflammatory properties, it helps with joint pain and muscle fatigue, while boosting the immune system to increase resistance against colds. It also has a circulation-enhancing effect. It pairs perfectly with ingredients like lemon, honey, turmeric, and cinnamon.
Carrot:
Carrots are renowned for their rich beta-carotene, which the body converts into Vitamin A, crucial for eye health (especially night vision) and skin regeneration. Their high fiber content aids digestion and promotes satiety. Potent antioxidants also protect cells. To maximize the absorption of their beneficial compounds, carrots are best consumed with healthy fats like olive oil. Versatile in both sweet and savory dishes, they pair wonderfully with fruits like apple, orange, and ginger, or in meat dishes.
Dry Onion:
Dry onion is a kitchen staple and a powerful antioxidant source. Its quercetin content helps protect the body against free radicals, reduces inflammation, and may support heart health. Rich in Vitamins C and B6, and manganese, it strengthens the immune system. Its prebiotic fibers contribute to digestive health. It is widely used in dishes ranging from meat dishes to vegetable sautés, pilafs, and soups. It pairs perfectly with garlic, tomatoes, peppers, and red meat.
Salt:
Salt is an essential mineral that adds unique flavor to dishes and serves as a natural preservative. It provides vital electrolyte balance for the body's water regulation, nerve, and muscle functions. It pairs perfectly with spices, herbs, and oils, enriching the taste of every meal. An indispensable part of every table.
Bay Leaf:
Bay Leaf is a potent spice that can aid digestion, helping to reduce gas and bloating. Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, it contributes to overall well-being. It's widely used in soups, stews, meat dishes, and legumes to add aromatic depth. It pairs exceptionally well with tomatoes, garlic, and thyme. While enhancing the dish's flavor, it leaves subtle bitter and woody notes.
Garlic:
Garlic, thanks to its allicin compound, offers strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It can boost the immune system, increasing resistance against illnesses. Furthermore, it contributes to cardiovascular health by helping regulate blood pressure and balance cholesterol levels. Widely used in traditional medicine, garlic is also known for its digestive support effects. An indispensable ingredient in meat dishes, vegetable sautés, and Mediterranean cuisine, it pairs wonderfully with herbs like rosemary and thyme.
Celery Stalk:
Celery stalk, low in calories, supports digestion with its fiber content and contributes to bone health through Vitamin K. It contains anti-inflammatory compounds (like apigenin) which may help reduce inflammation. Its potassium content can aid in balancing blood pressure. It pairs wonderfully with root vegetables like carrots, onions, and potatoes in soups, and with apples and walnuts in salads.
Grain Black Pepper:
Whole black peppercorns, thanks to their main component piperine, enhance the bioavailability of nutrients (e.g., curcumin) and aid digestion, acting as a potent antioxidant.

They achieve unique flavor harmony with various dishes, including red meat, poultry, fish, vegetable meals, soups, salads, and even some fruit platters. A versatile spice in the kitchen.
