Recipe Notes
Substitute meat stock for bone broth if you are sensitive to glutamate or on a gut healing diet like GAPS.
Use any traditional fat you like to sauté the veggies including butter, grassfed ghee, tallow, or pastured lard. I particularly like to use roasted goose or duck fat if I have some on reserve in the refrigerator from a recent holiday meal.
