Ingredients:

4 onions, quartered

3 leeks, cleaned and sliced

1 carrot, scrubbed and chopped

2 celery stalks with leaves, chopped

2 parsnips, scrubbed and chopped

12 cups water

12 sprigs fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 ½ teaspoon Sea salt, or to taste

Directions:

Oil a large stockpot with olive oil; set over medium-high heat. Add the onions, leeks, carrot, celery, and parsnips; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly soft, about 10 minutes. Add the water, parsley and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, uncovered, about 2 hours or until liquid reduces by half.

Line a colander with a paper towel or a double layer of cheesecloth; place over a large bowl. Strain the stock through the colander, pressing the vegetables with a wooden spoon to extract the juices; discard the solids. Use the stock immediately, or cool and transfer to 1-cup freezer containers to freeze for later use.

*For a rich flavored broth, roast the oiled vegetables in a 450 degree F oven stirring every 15 minutes for about an hour or until the vegetables have browned.
