2. Heat the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan and add the onions. Cook until softened and translucent, about 8–10 minutes. Add the celery, carrots, and garlic, if using. Sauté for a few minutes until softened.

3. Add the roasted bones and the beans, then top up with water until the bones are submerged. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce the heat to its lowest.
