PREPARATION and COOKING:  Adjust oven rack to high position and heat the broiler. 
 Peel and halve the onion and broil until charred; set aside.
Remove fat from chicken parts and beef ribs.  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 3 1/2 to 4 hours, skimming frequently until stock reduces
 to 2 quarts. Strain broth, discarding solids.  (Can cool, cover, and refrigerate for
 up to 4 days or freeze for up to 1 month.)
