TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for Tomato Collagen Bone Broth:

• Use Fresh Garlic: Fresh garlic adds better flavour and health benefits, so sauté quickly to soften harshness.
• Prefer Quality Tomatoes: Choose crushed tomatoes without added sugar or preservatives for pure taste.
• Stir Gently: Stir after adding basil off the heat to preserve its bright colour and delicate aroma.
• Balance Acidity: If the soup tastes too tangy, stir in a small pinch of sugar or a drop of olive oil.
• Garnish Creatively: Add a swirl of olive oil or a couple of basil leaves on top for a polished presentation.

VARIATIONS

• Make It Vegan: Use vegetable broth and stir in a tablespoon of nutritional yeast instead of basil for flavour.
• Add Protein: Mix in shredded chicken or a spoonful of Greek yoghurt for extra protein and creaminess.
• Herbal Twist: Try oregano or thyme instead of basil to vary the herbal note.
• Spicy Version: Add a pinch of chilli flakes or minced fresh chilli for extra warmth.
• Hearty Upgrade: Stir in cooked quinoa or barley to make this soup more filling and substantial.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

• Fridge Storage: Let cool and then transfer to an airtight container. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freezer Storage: Cool fully and freeze without basil. Label and freeze for up to 2 months.
