Fortified Gut Firewall
**Fortified Gut Firewall** This gut-healing broth is packed with nutrients and flavor. The beef bones provide collagen, which is essential for gut health. The vegetables and herbs add antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. And the apple cider vinegar helps to promote a healthy gut microbiome. To make this broth, simply combine all of the ingredients in a large pot or slow cooker. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 24-48 hours. Strain the broth into a clean pot or container and discard the bones and vegetables. Let the broth cool slightly before serving.
The story of this broth begins in the early 1900s, when my great-grandmother was a young girl living on a farm in rural Pennsylvania. Her family was poor, and they often had to rely on whatever they could grow or hunt for food. One day, her father shot a deer, and her mother used the bones to make a broth. My great-grandmother loved the broth, and she would often ask her mother to make it for her. Years later, my great-grandmother passed the recipe down to my grandmother, who passed it down to me. I have been making this broth for my family for years, and it has become a staple in our home. I love the rich, flavorful taste, and I know that it is good for my family's health. I am grateful to my great-grandmother for sharing this recipe with me, and I am happy to share it with you.
