Heat oven to 450 degrees F
Place soup bones in a roasting pan. Smear the bones with tomato paste. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with ¼ tsp. salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for one hour.
Meanwhile, chop up the vegetables and add them to a stockpot. Add 1 tsp. salt and the peppercorn.
After an hour has elapsed, turn off the oven and remove the bones. Add the bones to the stockpot.
Add 1 cup of water and scrape up the pan juices. Add to the stockpot.
Add approximately 8 cups of water to the pot. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 12 hours. You can also make this recipe using a slow cooker. I let mine go for twenty hours. The longer you let it go, the better it will be!
Strain the broth into another container.
At this point, you can use the broth to cook with or store for later use.
If you'd like to reduce the fat content, just cool the broth in the fridge until the fat hardens. The fat layer can then be easily removed.
I like to divide the broth into two cup portions and freeze them in quart-sized ziplock bags. You can also pour the broth in silicone ice trays and freeze for smaller portions.

Use filtered water whenever possible.
You can’t overcook bone broth. This means the longer you can simmer it the better.
Bone broth makes a perfect base for stew or soup!

After cooking, remove meat scraps off the bones, and a little broth, cooked vegetables, and mix in your dog’s dry food.
