Ingredients

4poundsbeef soup bones

2tablespoonsextra-virgin olive oil

4medium carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces

4stalkscelery (with leaves), cut into 3-inch pieces

2mediumonions, quartered

2mediumtomatoes, halved

1headgarlic, halved crosswise

16cupscold water

2tablespoonscider vinegar (see Tip)

2sprigsthyme

2bay leaves

1tablespoonwhole black peppercorns

1tablespoonkosher salt

Directions

Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400 degrees F.

Place soup bones on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle with oil. Roast on the bottom rack for 30 minutes.

Transfer the bones and vegetables to a 10- to 12-quart stockpot. Add 1 cup water to the bone pan and scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon; add to the pot. Add the remaining 15 cups water, vinegar, thyme, bay leaves, peppercorns and salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a low simmer and cook, covered, for 8 hours.

Remove the bones (if desired, remove any meat from the bones and save for another use). Strain the broth through a large sieve into a large bowl; discard the solids. Skim fat from the surface, if desired.

Tips

Adding a splash of vinegar to stock or broth before it starts simmering helps to break down collagen in the bones, which releases more gelatin. The additional gelatin improves the body, texture and flavor of the stock.To make ahead: Refrigerate for up to 1 week or freeze for at least 3 months.Equipment: 10- to 12-quart stockpot

Nutrition Facts(per serving)

  • Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
