Rich, deeply savory, and made entirely from whole, recognizable ingredients, this slow-simmered broth is the kind of foundational recipe that earns a permanent spot in your kitchen rotation. For anyone managing eosinophilic esophagitis, finding nourishing, soothing foods that don't trigger a reaction can feel like an uphill battle ā this broth sidesteps so many of the usual problem ingredients by keeping things clean and straightforward. Beef bones, fresh vegetables, and a handful of herbs are all that stand between you and a deeply mineral, gut-friendly liquid that works on its own or as a base for safe meals throughout the week. The technique matters here: roasting the bones first builds a dark, complex flavor that no shortcut can replicate, and the apple cider vinegar soak before simmering helps pull minerals from the bones into the broth itself. A long, lazy simmer ā barely a bubble for up to twelve hours ā is what transforms a pot of water and bones into something amber, silky, and genuinely restorative. Anti-inflammatory additions like fresh ginger and turmeric round out the flavor without adding anything harsh or irritating. Once chilled and skimmed, you'll have a clean, golden broth ready to sip straight from a mug or ladle into whatever you're cooking next.

Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the bones in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, until deeply browned on the underside. Flip and roast for another 15 minutes, until browned on the second side.
Transfer the roasted bones to a large stockpot (8-quart or larger). Pour off any excess fat from the baking sheet, then add a splash of water to the hot pan and scrape up the browned bits; pour this liquid into the pot.
