Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 large onion -- chopped

1 large carrot -- diced

10 cups water

3 cups coarsely chopped green leek tops

1 celery stalk -- sliced

1 turnip -- diced

1 dried mushroom

1/4 cup parsley stems and leaves

3 fresh thyme sprigs

1 bay leaf

2 whole cloves

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

 

Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and

carrot and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables begin to brown, 8 to

10 minutes. Place in a slow cooker with water, leek tops, celery, turnip,

mushroom and seasonings. Simmer on high 6 to 8 hours, or overnight, until

vegetables are very soft. Strain off stock and discard vegetables.

 

Makes about 8 cups.

 

VARIATION:

In place of leek tops, use a combination of two or more of the following:

loosely packed spinach stems and leaves, lettuce leaves, tomato skins, fresh

mushroom stems, or diced parsnips along with some additional chopped celery and

carrot to equal 3 cups vegetables.

NOTES : CROCKPOT: Just made for the long, slow simmering that makes a good

broth, a slow cooker can help you create this kitchen basic nearly effortlessly.

A quick browning of onions and carrots intensifies the stock's hearty flavor.
