keep in mind that you can really vary the ingredients. the only thing to be cautious about is avoiding certain types of vegetables that tend to produce bitter-tasting stock., more onions , quartered. (don tsp bother taking off the skin.) i think yellow onions are nicest for stock, and it s best to have at least 1 yellow, but you can also use a combination including white and red. i use up to about 5 onions., carrots , including their tops (but not the carrot greens), chopped into a few pieces., more leeks (nice but not required), chopped and washed, garlic cloves, in their skin, crushed with the side of a knife blade, celery ribs, coarsely chopped, parsley sprigs, fresh thyme (or dry , if you don tsp have fresh), fresh sage leaves (or some dry, if you haven tsp got fresh), fresh marjoram or oregano sprigs, bay leaves, black peppercorns, sea salt to taste, cold, filtered water, potato, sliced, mushrooms, sliced, more beets (give excellent flavor and color to a vegetarian stock in recipes like french onion soup that often call for beef broth), meat-eaters variation : chicken carcass and other parts (i buy rotisserie chicken, use the meat, and then make stocks from the bones and carcass), avoid adding the following vegetables to stocks, as they tend to make them bitter, broccoli , cabbage, and other cruciferous vegetables, zucchini and other squash
