# Method:
01 - Combine bone broth, onion, garlic, ginger, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, peppercorns, and salt in a large stockpot. Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
02 - Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours to allow flavors and nutrients to fully develop.
03 - Strain out solids using a fine mesh sieve, returning the clear broth to the pot.
04 - Add carrots, celery, and broccoli. Simmer for 10 minutes until vegetables are just tender.
05 - Add zucchini and spinach. Simmer for 2-3 minutes more, until wilted but still vibrant green.
06 - Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt if needed. Divide broth and vegetables among bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro, sesame seeds, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
