Peel the onion and cut into half or quarters. Add it to the pot.
Also add chopped hen or beef.
Add a grinding of pepper and season with salt.
Cover with the water and bring to a boil.
Simmer over medium heat for 3 to 4 hours.
Once the water has begun to boil, skim off any scum that rises to the top.
Once the broth is done cooking, remove the ingredients and filter the broth through a chinois.
Let the broth cool, then use a spoon to remove the layer of fat that will have formed on the surface.
