Do not expect this to taste delicious in itself; it adds a subliminal flavour to any soup or stew and is an additional source of nutrition. It will keep happily for a couple of weeks, or may be frozen for up to 3 months.

Ingredients

  • 2 heads of celery
  • 2 large onions
  • 2 carrots

Method

Clean and prepare the vegetables, chop coarsely and boil in the water for 30 minutes. Leave to cool, then purée the mixture and pass it though a sieve. Discard the vegetable debris and store the stock in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
