Winter is Coming… and So Is Cold & Flu Season! 🤧
As the weather turns chilly, our team at Orchard Park Pediatrics & Young Adult Medicine wants to help your family stay healthy and strong.
There are some great natural remedies that can also help during cold and flu season.
Today we’re starting with our first favorite: Bone Broth! 🍲
Our providers love bone broth because it’s rich in minerals, amino acids, and collagen which is perfect for:
🥣 Soothing sore throats
💧 Keeping kids hydrated
💤 Supporting rest and recovery
🌡️ Easing congestion
Easy Bone Broth Recipes:
Classic Chicken Bone Broth
• 1 whole chicken or leftover bones
• 1 onion, 2 carrots, 2 celery stalks
• 2 cloves garlic, 1–2 tbsp apple cider vinegar (optional but helps extract minerals)
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Cover with water and simmer 8–12 hours. Strain and sip warm.
Quick Instant Pot Broth
• 2 lbs bones (chicken, turkey, or beef)
• Vegetables of your choice, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• Pressure cook for 2 hours, strain, and store in jars or freeze for later.
Kid-Friendly Flavor Boost
• Add a bit of fresh ginger or a squeeze of lemon for extra immune support.
• For older kids, stir in noodles or rice for a comforting mini soup!
You can sip bone broth on its own or use it as a nutrient-rich base for soups, stews, or sauces.
