About 1 1/2 quarts

Preparation

  1. Chop the vegetables into quarter-inch cubes so they will infuse the maximum flavor to the broth. Place them in a stockpot that holds at least three quarts. Lay the fish bones on top. Pour the water over. Place over medium heat and bring very slowly to a boil, then immediately lower the heat. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  2. Remove the pot from the heat and let the stock cool completely before straining.
