Ingredients

  • 1 large onion, roughly chopped
  • 3 medium carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 3 celery stalks, roughly chopped
  • 2 large leeks, white and light green parts only, roughly chopped, rinsed well
  • 8 ounces mushrooms
  • 1 bunch parsley

Method

  • Put all ingredients in a large pot and add 4 qts. water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until broth is reduced by half, 2 1/2 to 3 hours; at the beginning, spoon off any foam that forms on top.
  • Pour mixture through a strainer into a bowl and let broth cool; discard vegetables.
  • Use broth, or ladle it into qt.-size freezer bags or containers (great for soup) or ice cube trays (handy for sauces) and freeze up to 6 months; transfer cubes to bags once they're solid.
  • Nutritional analysis is per cup.
