Ingredients:

Serving

3 bay leaves
3 medium carrots, cut into chunks
3 celery ribs, cut into chunks
3 quart cold water
1 tsp dried marjoram
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried thyme
3 to 4 sprig fresh parsley
3 clove garlic
4 lb meaty beef soup bones (beef shanks or short ribs)
2 medium onions, quartered
1/2 cup warm water
8 to 10 whole peppercorns

Directions:

Place soup bones in a a large roasting pan. Bake, uncovered, at 450 degrees for 30 minutes. Add the carrots, celery and onions. Bake 30 minutes longer; drain fat.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer bones and vegetables to a large soup kettle. Add warm water to the roasting pan; stir to loosen browned bits from pan. Transfer pan juices to kettle. Add the seasonings and enough cold water just to cover. Slowly bring to a boil, about 30 minutes. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 4-5 hours, skimming the surface as foam rises. If necessary, add hot water during the first 2 hours to keep ingredients covered.
Remove beef bones and set aside until cool enough to handle. If desired, remove meat from bones; discard bones and save meat for another use. Strain broth through a cheesecloth-lined colander, discarding vegetables and seasonings. If using immediately, skim fat or refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight; remove fat from surface. Broth can be covered and refrigerated for up to 3 days of frozen for 4 to 6 months.
