02 - 1 medium yellow onion, peeled and quartered
03 - 4 cloves garlic, smashed
04 - 1 thumb-sized piece fresh ginger, sliced
05 - 1 thumb-sized piece fresh turmeric, sliced, or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
06 - 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
07 - 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
08 - 1 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste

12 - 1 cup baby spinach
13 - 1 zucchini, sliced

→ Garnishes

14 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or cilantro
15 - 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, optional
16 - Lemon wedges, for serving

# Step-by-Step:

01 - In a large stockpot, combine bone broth, onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, peppercorns, and salt. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
02 - Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1 hour 30 minutes to allow flavors and nutrients to fully develop.
03 - Strain out solids using a fine mesh sieve, returning the clear broth to the pot.
04 - Add carrots, celery, and broccoli. Simmer for 10 minutes until vegetables are just tender.
05 - Add zucchini and spinach. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes more until wilted but still vibrant.
06 - Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed.
07 - Divide the broth and vegetables among bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lemon juice.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but actually nourishes you from the inside—no guilt required.
  • The golden turmeric broth is warm, grounding, and feels like a hug when life gets hectic.
  • You can make it once and eat it for days, so busy mornings become a little easier.
02 -
  • Don't skip the initial 1.5-hour simmer—rushing it defeats the purpose of extracting collagen and mineral content.
  • Add delicate vegetables at the very end or they'll turn to mush and lose their nutritional value and beautiful color.
03 -
  • If your broth tastes thin or weak, it might be low-quality to begin with—splurge on good broth and you'll taste the difference immediately.
  • Add the apple cider vinegar at the start; it works invisibly to unlock minerals and collagen that would otherwise stay locked in the bones.
