Ingredients

• 3 medium carrots
• 3 medium celery stalks
• 2 medium yellow onion
• 1 head garlic
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium parsnip
• 6 ounces mushrooms
• 1 bunch fresh parsley
• 2 whole bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 12 cups water
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Roughly chop the carrots, celery, onions, and parsnip into large chunks. Leave the skins on the onions and garlic for added flavor.

Step 3

Place the chopped vegetables, garlic head (cut in half crosswise), and mushrooms onto a large roasting pan.

Step 4

Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste to the vegetables and mix until the paste is distributed evenly.

Step 6

Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, stirring halfway, until the vegetables are caramelized and slightly charred at the edges.

Step 7

Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large stockpot. Add the parsley, bay leaves, black peppercorns, salt, and water to the pot.

Step 8

Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, for 45-60 minutes.

Step 9

Occasionally skim off any foam or impurities that rise to the surface.

Step 10

Once the stock is done simmering, remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 11

Strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl or container, pressing the solids gently to extract as much liquid as possible.

Step 12

Discard the solids and let the stock cool completely before storing.

Step 13

Store the stock in airtight containers or freezer-safe bags in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
