Beef Broth - Czech Soup Classic

Beef broth is the foundation of Czech soup tradition and an integral part of Sunday lunches. It is prepared from beef on the bone (most commonly shoulder or brisket) with carrots, celery, parsley, onion, and spices. The key to a clear broth is slow cooking at a gentle simmer and careful skimming of foam. The broth is served with thin noodles, liver dumplings, or celestine noodles (strips of pancakes).
