| Welsh Lamb and Root Soup in Slow Cooker |
This soup is made with a homemade bone broth. Bone
broths are one of those “miracle” concoctions that are good for our heart and health. They are nutrient rich and full of healthy ingredients that come from
the bones they are made from. Below is a recipe for one of my favorite bone broth based soups:

This is a great recipe to make a day ahead. The flavors in a
bone broth based soup only improve with age. It can even be frozen.
Enjoy! And Live Vibrant!
