Description

Soup bone is a flavorful cut, rich in marrow, perfect for making hearty broths, stews, and soups with deep, meaty taste.

 


Ingredients

  1.  2 lbs soup bones  
  2.  10 cups water  
  3.  1 onion, chopped  
  4.  2 carrots, chopped  
  5.  2 celery stalks, chopped  
  6.  3 garlic cloves, minced  
  7.  1 bay leaf  
  8.  1 tsp salt  
  9.  ½ tsp black pepper  
  10.  1 tsp dried thyme (optional)  

 


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast the soup bones for 30 minutes for richer flavor.  

2. In a large pot, add roasted bones, water, onion, carrots, celery, and garlic.  

3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 3-4 hours.  

4. Skim off any foam or fat that rises to the top.  

5. Add salt, pepper, bay leaf, and thyme, and simmer for another 30 minutes.  

6. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve, discarding solids.  

7. Let cool and store in the refrigerator or freezer for later use.  

 

Notes

  •  For a richer broth, roast bones before boiling.  
  •  Store broth in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge or freeze for later use.  
  •  Add vinegar while simmering to extract more nutrients from bones.
