Things You'll Need
Large pot
4 cups broth
Soup bones
1 tbsp. canola oil
1/2 cup diced onions
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/2 tsp. ground sage
1/2 tsp. ground thyme
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 cups cubed, raw potatoes
Drizzle 1 tablespoon of canola oil into a large pot and place over medium heat.
Add 1/2 cup of finely diced yellow onions and sauté until the onions are translucent.
Add your soup bones to the pot, stirring and cooking until the bits of meat are nicely browned.
Sprinkle in the seasonings and minced garlic.
Cook and stir for one minute. Preparing your meat bones in this fashion prior to adding the broth enhances the flavor of your finished soup compared to simply boiling your soup bones.
Heat 4 cups of low-sodium chicken or beef broth in the microwave for 4 minutes. Use chicken broth if you're cooking chicken or ham bones, and beef broth if you're cooking beef bones.
Pour the hot broth into the pot.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then lower the heat to a gentle boil and cook uncovered for 30 minutes.
Add your cubed, raw potatoes and other desired vegetables to your soup.
