Found on pinterest

Makes 3 quarts 

NOTE: Brodo is Italian for ‘broth’ - and it’s a thinner, less concentrated stock than the traditional chicken or beef stocks. Brodo is typically made from a mixture from beef and poultry.

3 pounds chopped, cracked, or sawed veal or beef bones (or a combination)

Bones from one chicken

1 large carrot, peeled and chopped

1 large leek, green top removed, cut up

1 large onion, peeled and chopped

1 stalk celery chopped

Green leafy ends cut from the tops of the head of celery

3 good sized stalks of parsley including stems

1 bay leaf

1 good sized sprig of thyme

1 large tomato cut in half and seeded

1 large clove garlic peeled and smashed

4 black whole peppercorns

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

Put everything into a large stock pot and cover with water.

Slowly bring to a boil. Lower heat to a really low simmer and cook for four hours uncovered.

Once done, strain and cool, discarding solids.

When completely cool, remove fat and discard.

Use immediately or freeze in zipper seal bags. Reboil when ready to use.

OR TO CAN: 

Reheat broth to boiling and fill jars, leaving 1-inch headspace. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened clean paper towel. Process pints for 20 mins and quarts for 25 mins at 10 lbs of pressure in a pressure canner.
