Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium onions, peeled and quartered
  • 2 leeks, chopped
  • 4 carrots, chopped
  • 5 celery ribs, chopped
  • 8 parsley sprigs, with leaves (fresh)
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (no salt added preferred)
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 pints water

Method

  • Put everything into a large pot and bring to a boil; then cover and reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour.
  • Check the seasoning; add more salt and pepper, if needed; then strain and refrigerate for 24 hours or freeze until needed.
  • TIP: if you like adding starchy root vegetables to your stock mixture, please remember that the more you add, the cloudier your stock will become.
