- 2 Carrots peeled and sliced
- 1 Leek cut into slices
- 1 sliced celery stalk
- 1 turnip peeled and chopped
- 1 bunch of herbs

How to make homemade broth:
- Take a large pot and add the bones and vegetables. Then cover the ingredients with cold water. For a light broth, only beef or veal bones are used. Add the desired herbs or spices, salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover the pot and let the broth simmer for 3 hours, skimming the foam from time to time.
- When it’s ready, rectify flavor, strain it and let it cool. Once cold, you can keep it in the fridge for 2 days. If you want to keep it longer, it is best to freeze it.
- Before using the homemade broth to make a soup, or the recipe you want, it is advisable to degrease the surface and strain it again.
- And if you want a darker broth, you must first roast the bones in the oven at 230ºC. Then, fry the vegetables in a tablespoon of oil until golden brown and cook them together with the toasted bones, cold water and spices following the previous procedure.
