Making Your Own Stock
This soup is especially flavorful when made with homemade stock. If you have the time, it’s worth preparing a batch and freezing it for later use.
How to Make It:
Place beef or poultry bones, 1 large onion (with skin on), 1 carrot, 2 celery stalks, a few bay leaves, salt, and pepper into a large stockpot. Add enough cold water to cover the ingredients by about 2 inches.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 3–4 hours, skimming off any foam that rises to the top.
Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl and discard the solids. Allow the stock to cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate overnight. Once chilled, skim off and discard the hardened fat on top. Store in airtight containers and freeze in portions for up to 3 months.
