Recipes: 5 Ways to Use Bone Broth This Fall/Winter (Beyond Soup!)

As the temperatures drop and the cravings for warmth set in, there’s one thing Canadians keep reaching for: bone broth. 

And not just because it’s comforting (though it definitely is). A cup of bone broth in fall and winter is also one of the easiest ways to support your digestion, energy and immune system when your body needs it most.

But here’s the thing, you don’t have to sip it from a mug, spoon it from a bowl or make it into some kind of soup. 

Here are five of our favourite, underrated and seasonally perfect recipes for using bone broth in colder months.

1. 3-Minute Instant Noodle Broth

Busy weeknights? Meet your new go-to. This high-protein noodle bowl is comforting, quick, and endlessly customizable.

How to make it:

• Add vermicelli noodles and chopped veggies to a bowl
• Boil 1 cup of Shorba Bone Broth (Chicken or Beef)
• Pour it over the noodles, cover for 3 minutes
• Season with sesame oil, soy sauce or whatever you’re craving

2. Kimchi-Jjigae with a Shorba Twist

This spicy, savoury Korean kimchi stew is a cold-weather classic and Shorba’s slow-simmered broth adds a layer of depth that makes it extra special.

We make this on cozy nights at home with aged kimchi, tofu, pork, and a scoop of gochujang.

Full ingredients:

1/2 lb pork shoulder/belly, sliced
1 lb aged kimchi, chopped
1 tsp neutral oil
1/2 lb firm tofu, cubed
1 white onion, sliced
3 scallions, separated green/white parts
1 tsp kosher salt
1 tbsp gochujang
1 tsp sesame oil
500ml Shorba Bone Broth
4-5 shiitake mushrooms (optional), sliced
1 piece dried kelp (optional)
1/2 tsp fish sauce (optional)
Gochugaru (optional), to taste
White rice, cooked

How to make it:

• Simmer broth with kelp & scallion greens (optional)
• Cook rice (retain 1 cup starchy water)
• Stir-fry onion & pork in oil until browned
• Add gochujang, salt, kimchi, mushrooms; sauté
• Add fish sauce, sesame oil, rice water, & strained broth. Simmer 10 mins. 
• Add tofu & gochugaru; simmer 5 mins
• Garnish with scallion whites. Serve with rice

3. Snapper Love (A Red Snapper–Inspired Cocktail)

A gut-friendly twist on a brunch classic, we swapped tomato juice for beet juice and added Shorba’s Chicken Bone Broth for a savoury base that actually fuels your body. Think brunch in bed, but better for you.

How to make it:

• Rim a glass with Tajin (optional)
• Combine 2 oz gin, 4 oz Shorba chicken broth, 4 oz beet juice, 1 tsp horseradish, 2 dashes hot sauce, 2 dashes Worcestershire, 2 dashes pickle juice, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and a pinch of black pepper in a glass with ice and mix
• Garnish with lemon and celery (optional). Enjoy!
  

4. Shorba Immunity Cubes

When you’re under the weather (or trying to avoid getting there), these frozen cubes make it so easy to stay on top of your immunity game.

How to make them:

• Simmer Shorba broth with ginger, garlic (if using), and black pepper until reduced by half.
• Stir in salt, ghee, and lemon juice. Let cool completely.
• Freeze in an ice cube tray.

When ready to use, pour an equal amount of boiling water over the immunity cube. If you’re following Ayurveda, add the honey to taste after cooling, as honey shouldn’t be added to hot water.

5. Gut-Friendly Hot Chocolate

Yes, you read that right. We love bone broth hot chocolate. 

It might sound a little wild, but it’s smooth, nourishing, and rich in glycine, a compound that helps support sleep, calm the nervous system and ease digestion.

How to make it:

• Heat coconut milk (½ cup) and Shorba in a small pot on medium heat till it is simmering
• Turn the heat to low and whisk in cacao powder (1 tbsp, organic if possible), bittersweet baking chocolate or dark chocolate chips (10g), pure maple syrup (1 tbsp) and sea salt (1 pinch) until the chocolate has completely dissolved 
• Froth with a frother if you have one, otherwise, stir with a spoon

Why Use Shorba in Your Recipes?

Beyond the recipes, there’s a reason Shorba is the best bone broth for winter wellness in Canada:

• We’re the only bone broth on the Canadian market without garlic or onions and come recommended by western dietitians, especially for those following low-FODMAP diets for IBS and digestive issues.
  
• Our broths simmer for 12 hours, done purposely slow and steady to pull every bit of collagen, minerals and nutrients from local organic bones.
  
• No added salt. No filler. No shortcuts. Just real ingredients that fuel your body from the inside out.

Whether you’re cozying up on the couch, cooking for loved ones or trying to stay ahead of seasonal sniffles, these recipes are here to support you, your body, your gut and your tastebuds.
