Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Bones

    Rinse the beef, pork, and chicken bones under cold water to remove any impurities. Place them in a large stockpot.

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Peel and quarter the onion. Chop the carrots and celery into large chunks. Smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the chopped vegetables, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper to the pot with the bones.

  2. 4

    Add Water

    Pour 12 cups of water into the pot, ensuring that the bones and vegetables are completely submerged.

  3. 5

    Bring to a Boil

    Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Cover the pot and let it simmer for 4-6 hours. Skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface occasionally.

  5. 7

    Strain the Broth

    After simmering, remove the pot from heat and strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or another pot, discarding the solids.

  6. 8

    Cool and Store

    Let the broth cool to room temperature before transferring it to containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
