Share your bone broth recipes!
Any tips for where to get bones? We don't typically buy chicken or beef on the bone unless it is a rotisserie chicken, chicken thighs or a t-bone 
Thanks! I've been sick for over a month and I need all the help I can get!

You can buy bones from any butcher, or decent sized grocery store. Ours sells bones next to the offals and some other non-meat type stuff.
ETA: you looking to make stock? Because that's SUPER EASY

@yoursilverlining: do you know if you can used already cooked bones in bone broths?
Stores around here don't sell stuff like that I can definitely try a butcher though!

My favourite is using oxtail, beef or chicken bones. A butcher will sell beef bones. ETA: Do you have access to ethnic grocery stores? You should be able to find bones in asian markets.

With chicken soup, i will take out the chicken after an hour or so of boiling (depending on how big the chicken is) and strip the meat off the bones. Then i'll throw a few heads of garlic with the carcass and simmer for a few hours (or longer).
Hope you feel better soon!

@MrsH: You can (we will use leftover roast chicken carcass to make some stock), but I don’t think you get all the nutrition that way (though, I’m no expert!).
If you have a big/decent sized grocery store – ask at the meat counter. They may have bones for sale, even if they don’t put them out. Ours always has stuff “hidden” behind the counter. 
For chicken broth, just buying a whole chicken is the easiest. I remove the skin because it makes the broth less fatty (less to skim off the top later), but it isn’t necessary. Just boil with veggies for a few hours, and strain. Add ginger and garlic after for a really great broth that will make you feel better!

what about an asian market? They always have them frozen at mine!
for chicken broth, I do mine in the crockpot. Buy a whole cut up chicken, dump it in there with veggies and stuff and let it go overnight. Then i strip the meat off

@MrsH: I worked at a butcher shop in high school/early college, and we always had bones to give to people who asked. I don't think we ever charged, so go ahead and try! We always use the carcass from roast chicken to make stock. I think we take the chicken out before we simmer it with carrots, celery, parsley, etc.

Just strip the meat from a rotisserie chicken, cover with water and add in an onion and a few cloves of garlic, and leave in a crockpot overnight. Some folks add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to help draw nutrients out from the bones. You can't taste it in the final product. Once you have the broth, strain it and add in chopped veggies for soup. Add shredded chicken last since it's already cooked. Check seasoning last since lots of rotisserie birds are already seasoned.

I usually make chicken stock - What I do is just use leftover rotisserie chicken and whatever meat remaining, add half an onion, 2-3 celery stalks, and 2-3 carrots (roughly chopped so it's easy to strain), cover to the brim with water in my crockpot (I don't even measure)... then leave it on overnight. I like to slow cook it for at least 12 hours! I strain it the next day, and separate it out into ziplock bags, lay flat and freeze.
For buying bones in bulk, I always find them at the asian market! They have the really good stuff like chicken feet which makes stock super gelatinous and healthy for you.
When I do follow a recipe, I'll pull out my Nourishing Traditions cookbook by Weston A. Price - here's the recipe! http://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/broth-is-beautiful/

You can buy beef bones at the supermarket, most place have them, you just have to look. I don't usually make beef broth, but when I do, I like to cook the bones first, to lighly roast them.
You might find that you have to watch the broth and skim it off.
