Soups
Ingredients
Directions
Boil plain water in a stockpot, then drain it off.
Add bones, gristle, trimmings, a little salt, and vegetables.
Cover with cold water and bring to a slow boil.
Just before boiling, strain well to remove scum.
Let the stock boil for a day, adding water as it evaporates.
