Basic stock is the Danish term for a homemade fond — simmered from bones or meat with vegetables, strained and skimmed. It is not a dish in itself, but the foundation for other soups and sauces. Reduce it well and freeze it, and you always have good flavor on hand.

- approx. 1 1/2 kg beef or veal bones, or 3/4 kg beef or veal brisket, neck or chuck
- 2–2 1/2 l water
- 2–3 onions
- 3 carrots
- 4 cloves
- 1/2 celeriac
- optionally 1 parsley root or parsnip
- bouquet garni, ideally of many herbs
- salt
