Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds beef or chicken bones (preferably with marrow for richness)
  • 12 cups filtered water
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 3 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, sliced thinly
  • 1 teaspoon ground turmeric or 2-inch fresh turmeric root, sliced
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 5 whole black peppercorns
  • Salt to taste (start with 1 teaspoon and adjust)
  • Optional: 1 small bunch fresh parsley or cilantro
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon coconut aminos or soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread bones on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes until browned (optional but recommended).
  2. Transfer roasted bones to a large stockpot or slow cooker. Add 12 cups filtered water and 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar. Let sit for 20-30 minutes before heating.
  3. Add quartered onion, smashed garlic, chopped carrots, celery, sliced ginger, turmeric, bay leaf, and peppercorns to the pot.
  4. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a low simmer. If using a slow cooker, set to low. Simmer for at least 4 hours, ideally 12-24 hours, partially covered. Skim foam or impurities as needed.
  5. Season with salt starting with 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste. Stir in dried herbs or coconut aminos/soy sauce if using, and simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
  6. Strain broth through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl or container. Discard solids or save softened vegetables for other uses.
  7. Let broth cool to room temperature before refrigerating. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Roasting bones is optional but adds depth and richness. Use cold filtered water to start for clearer broth. Skim foam early and often to keep broth clear. Add turmeric carefully to avoid bitterness. Store broth cooled uncovered to room temperature before sealing. Reheat gently to preserve flavor and texture.
