Ingredients

Servings
  • 1.3 pounds mutton bones
  • 2 brown onion medium size
  • 1 ½ inch ginger
  • 6 garlic cloves
  • 1 ½ teaspoons cumin seeds whole
  • 1 ½ teaspoons black peppercorns whole
  • 1 teaspoon clove whole
  • ½ teaspoon fennel seeds whole
  • teaspoon turmeric powder see the note.
  • 2 inches cinnamon quills
  • 3 bay leaf
  • 7 cups water see the note, hot boiling from kettle

Instructions

  1. Wash and rinse the bones. Place them in a large cooking pan or a stockpot.
  2. Peel and roughly slice the onions. Add them into the bones.
  3. Peel the garlic and ginger, then put them in the pot. And add the rest of the spices as well. 
  4. Next, pour in the hot boiling water from the kettle.
  5. Put the pan lid on and turn the heat to medium-high heat. Leave it to boil.
  6. When the water reaches the boiling point, turn the heat down to the lowest and let it simmer. 
  7. Skim off and discard the foam, dirt and excess fat that floats on top of the water surface. Continue simmering for at least 2 hours (preferably for 3 hours). You can leave the pan lid slightly ajar if the water is high to the rim to prevent it overflowing.
  8. Once the bone broth has finished cooking, strain the soup using a sieve and use it as needed.

Notes

  • If it is available to you, try to use fresh turmeric root. You only need about 1-inch of turmeric root for this recipe. Peel it and throw it in the stockpot with the rest of the ingredients.
