Vegetable Stock

For this recipe, all of the vegetables can simply be washed well, and roughly chopped, except for the turnip, if it has a waxy skin, it should be peeled. Be sure to include the green tops from any of the vegetables. They add flavor.

In a stock pot, heat oil. Add onion, carrot, celery, tomato, potato, turnip, and garlic. Cook on medium-high, stirring occasionally for about 10 minutes, to give the vegetables a 'little' color.

Add the remaining ingredients. Stir, scraping the bottom of the pot, to release the 'char' goodness from the vegetables.

Cover, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 1 hour.

Strain the stock into a large bowl and discard the vegetables, bay leaves, and parsley.

The stock is ready to be used immediately

It will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.
