Easiest or quickest?

It's really just boiling bones for a long time.

Keep bones in the freezer as you eat bome-in meat. When you have enough to fill up about half a big pot, take the bones, a big onion cut in half, a few crushed garlic cloves, and about a half inch of ginger and boil them on medium/medium low for 4-12 hours. Refill the water every now and then. More water at the end will make the broth more liquid; less will make it more gelatinous. Strain through a mesh , add salt to taste, and store it in the fridge after it cools down.

Drink it in a mug or make other soups out of it. It's also great to drink when your fasting to keep your salt levels up, so don't under salt it.

use bones.

carrot, celery, onion, garlic, thyme, oregano, bones…. all in water, simmer for 12 hours at least, keep adding water. final liquid amount should be reduced to roughly half of starting volume. strain into storage container 🫙, let cool.

I save bones from whatever meat I’ve cooked and most vegetable scraps in a bag in the freezer. When the bag is full, I throw it all in a large stockpot with a lot of water and bring to a boil (for clearer broth, don’t boil, but approach it; high simmer). I reduce to a simmer and put a lid on it, leaving it to simmer over 1-5 nights. I turn off the heat until the pot is just cool enough to pick up (usually 2-3 hours) and strain through metal funnels into glass jars. I’ll grab the mushy stuff with clean hands and squeeze it to crumble the bones and release any further liquid, discarding solids after they’ve been squeezed, and pour that liquid into the jars as well.

I also like throwing in raw chicken breasts to cook; the cooking chicken and broth have a good effect on each other’s flavor.
