Preparation Wash the celery and cut them in half. Cut the carrots in half as well. Put all the ingredients into a large put with the water and bring it all to a boil.

When it starts boiling, lower the heat and put the lid on. Let it boil slowly for about two hours. Then skim and add the salt and pepper.

Strain the broth through a soup strainer. When the broth is cool, remover the fat on the top.
 
The Chef's tips The broth can be stored in plastic containers.
 
Curiosity There are a large number of recipes using broth instead of water so prepare a lot and freeze to be used as required.
