Preparation

  • In a very large saucepan over medium heat, add onion, garlic, carrot, celery and 3 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook while stirring for 8 to 10 minutes to caramelize. Add oil as needed.
  • Deglaze with the white wine and scrape the bottom to get all the flavours. Continue cooking for 1 minute while stirring.
  • Add remaining ingredients then cover with water, about 10 cups.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce to low heat and cover. Simmer for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Filter several times to obtain a clear broth. Return to the pan and reserve in the fridge for 3 hours. The fat will accumulate on top and you can remove it easily!
