Bone broth
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Bone broth is a flavorful base not only for soups, but also for main dishes, stews, porridges, etc. You can prepare it in advance by buying meat with bones at the market, for example, for borscht or soup. The best option is beef or lamb bones, as they yield a very aromatic broth. Serve with fresh herbs and sour cream.
