Half an hour before the end of cooking, you can add spices, for example, bay leaf.

Some people put bay leaves together with meat, but you shouldn't do that. It will only spoil the taste of the broth and add bitterness.

Salt is added only at the very end. If you use this ingredient earlier, it will all boil away. Experienced housewives also recommend adding finely diced garlic at the end for a richer aroma.
