Browning meat, bones and vegetables, will result into a beautiful mahogany-colored broth.
If broth does not seem dark enough, heat a spoonful tomato paste into a small casserole over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes, until dark.
One [1] hour before the end of the cooking time, stir darkened tomato paste into broth.
