Honoring Mothers Through the Ritual of Bone Broth
A Hug in a Mug
A customer once told us, “Your chicken bone broth is like a hug from mom.” We hear similar things often, and we take it to heart. There’s something deeply nostalgic and comforting about the flavor of our chicken bone broth, inspired by the homemade soups our mothers and grandmothers made when we needed care. This Mother’s Day, we’re honoring the women who’ve passed down this tradition, quietly nourishing generations with something warm, healing, and made with love.
Mothers and the History of Broth
Throughout history, mothers have been the quiet keepers of comfort and healing, often through the foods they prepared. Long before modern medicine, it was a mother or grandmother who simmered bones into broth to nurse a child back to health or warm the soul after a hard day.
In ancient cultures like the Maya and Mesopotamia, women (often mothers) carried the responsibility of feeding and caring for their families. Bone broth wasn’t just food; it was a form of medicine. In many cases, the first “doctor” a child ever knew was their mom at the stove, crafting a pot of nourishing broth from scratch.
These traditions were born not just out of duty, but of love that has been passed down for centuries to the next generation. They come from a mother’s deep-rooted instinct to soothe, protect, and provide. Today, we honor that lineage. The comfort found in a mug of bone broth is more than flavor. It’s memory, connection, and care passed down through generations of mothers who showed love the best way they knew how: through nourishment.
A Taste That Takes You Back
For so many of us, the scent of chicken soup simmering on the stove is a portal back to childhood. It’s memories of being bundled in blankets on the couch with a cold, a warm mug pressed into our hands by a mom or grandma who always seemed to know what we needed.
That kind of intuitive, loving, and deeply nourishing care was the inspiration behind our chicken bone broth. We crafted it to taste like the broth your mom made, capturing that simple, timeless comfort. It's light, savory, and familiar, like a hug from mom.
Sipping it today is a way of revisiting those quiet moments of safety and warmth. And for many mothers today, sipping bone broth isn’t rooted in tradition alone, it’s a way to nourish themselves with the same care they so often give to others.
In Every Era, Mothers Show Up
In modern times, much has changed. Roles have shifted, expectations have evolved, and families come in all shapes and sizes. But one thing that hasn’t changed is the immense love and labor that mothers give by raising children, nurturing others, or showing up day after day with strength and compassion.
Often, it’s in the small things about motherhood like a warm bowl of soup, a shared meal, a quiet moment of comfort where the most powerful memories are made and held forever.
This Mother's Day, we honor not just the traditions, but the resilience. The soft moments and the unseen effort. And we celebrate the mothers who, even in a world that asks everything of them, are learning to care for themselves, too.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the broth loving moms out there!
