Making good broth

My mother in-law advised me that to make a good broth from Chicken we need to use cold water and allow it to cook slowly.

Ingredients:
Piece of beef steak
Chicken (thighs)
celery
1 carrot
1/4 of an onion
salt
1 big tomato (whole)



Cook in 3 litres of water. Put it on high heat and when it starts to boil you lower it and cook on low heat for 3 hours. When the soup is ready strain and serve as you like.
This soup is good for digestion and also for invalids.
Alternatively in Romagna area of Italy this soup is used to cook the mini ravioli.
It is also a base to many Italian recipes.

This soup recipe is simple to prepare and can be cooked by anyone, no extra skills required to cook it.

I would brown the meat in a bit of oil before adding the other ingredients and simmering it way down.
