Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 lbs beef or chicken bones (grass-fed or organic recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 12 cups filtered water
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 cup chopped kale or spinach
  • 1 cup diced zucchini
  • 1 cup chopped mushrooms (button or cremini)
  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Juice of half a lemon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast bones on a roasting pan for 30-40 minutes until browned.
  2. Transfer roasted bones to a large stockpot or slow cooker. Add apple cider vinegar and filtered water. Let sit for 20 minutes.
  3. Add onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaf, and peppercorns. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, avoiding boiling.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for at least 8 hours, preferably 12-24 hours. Add water if needed.
  5. Strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl, discarding solids.
  6. Return clear broth to pot. Add sweet potatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, kale or spinach, and peas. Simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  7. Stir in fresh parsley, thyme, and lemon juice. Add salt to taste and adjust seasoning.
  8. Serve warm, optionally garnished with extra herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

Roasting bones before simmering adds a rich, caramelized flavor. Use apple cider vinegar to help extract minerals from bones. Keep heat low to avoid cloudy broth. Skim foam during simmering for clarity. Vegetables should be added towards the end to maintain texture and color. Broth can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
