Put them and veal bones in a 6-quart soup kettle with salt and 4 quarts of cold water. Slowly bring to a boil. Halve the celery and carrots, quarter the celery root; add them to the soup kettle along with the remaining ingredients and simmer for 3½ to 4 hours, skimming frequently until stock reduces to 2 quarts. Strain broth, discarding solids.
