Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread bones on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
In a large pot, combine roasted bones, chopped carrots, celery, onions, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, and enough water to cover everything by at least an inch.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and let simmer gently for 8-12 hours.
