Homemade vegetable stock

I love making everything from scratch. It’s the latest addiction I am having. When soup was on the menu plan for the week, I knew I had to have homemade vegetable stock in hand. This combination of vegetables and spices makes an aromatic sweet stock which is a perfect base for any savory soups.

• 2 large yellow onions
• 1 whole bulb of garlic
• 1 large carrot
• 5 stalks of celery
• 11 peppercorns
• 1 bay leaf

1. Cut yellow onions in quarters.
2. Chop carrot and celery stalks in 2-inch lengths.
3. Peel the pips of garlic.
4. Fill enough water to cover the vegetables.
5. Bring to a boil then reduce the flame to slow fire.
6. Simmer for 1 hour.
7. Strain and cool completely before refrigerating.
