Instructions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees F with rack set in the center of the oven.
Scatter bones in a large shallow roasting pan. Place pan in the oven and roast for one hour.
While bones are roasting, heat olive oil in a large skillet, add carrots, celery, and onions, and cook over medium-low heat for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally until well-browned. Remove from pan and place veggies in the crockpot.
Add the remaining ingredients and bones from the pan into the crockpot and fill the pot with water leaving 2” on the top.
Cook on the "high" setting for one hour. If any foam has risen to the top, skim it off with a large serving spoon. Replace the cover and reduce the heat to "low," allowing it to simmer for at least three hours and up to 48 hours.
Uncover and stir the pot. Let it cool for at least one hour.
Strain with a colander or fine-mesh strainer. Discard all solids.
Place soup in covered containers or mason jars. Skim the fat from the top of the soup before using it.
Season broth with salt and enjoy.
Notes
To make stock in a stockpot or your largest pot.
Follow the recipe and cook the bone broth in your largest pot over low heat, ensuring your stock remains at a simmer by checking it every hour or so.
If you're short on timeYou can skip roasting the bones and sautéing the veggies. Take out a crockpot and toss all of the ingredients into the pot. In 3+ hours, you will have a pot of bone broth. This method works too. To store the bone broth
Store the bone broth in the fridge for up to 4 days. After that, transfer it to storage containers and place them in the freezer until ready to use. It's important to date the containers with a marker so you can track when you stored them in the freezer.
