Claeren.

Sure, just don't use those laurel bay leaves, they have a very strong pungent taste. Use the cheap old fashioned bay leaves. Carrot is very nice, u can eat the carrot after too. If you really want to get sophisticated for the broth, add a small parsnip, a few sprigs of parsley and some celery leaves. And use peppercorns, not pepper, keeps your broth clear.

Strain the broth and use for soup bases or cook rice, quinoa, couscous etc in it.
