Easy Vegetable Stock
 
1 onion, quartered
1 carrot, peeled and thickly sliced
1 celery stock, sliced
4 to 8 cloves of garlic

1 leek, cleaned and sliced
salt to taste
vegetable trimmings, such as sliced chard stalks, sliced parsley stems, cleaned and sliced leek greens, mushroom stems, and scallion trimmings.

Combine all of the ingredients with 8 cups of water and bring to boil. Reduce the heat, cover partially, and simmer gently for 30 minutes or longer. Strain through a fine strainer. Use right away, or refrigerate or freeze. This is best used within a day of being made, or it can be frozen for 3 to 4 months.
