INSTRUCTIONS
In a soup pot, heat oil over high. Add onions, carrots, celery and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes. Strain broth through a fine sieve; discard solids. Makes about 5 cups. STORAGE: The broth will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months. TIPs: Crack a bay leaf and sniff. If fresh and aromatic, use 2 leaves in the soup. Coarsely chop the carrots and onion and celery together in a food processor fitted with metal blade. No need to peel the garlic. You may want to peel the onion. Scrub the carrots and wash the leek. Results: a generous quart of an amber or apricot colored broth, slightly cloudy. Chill the broth and the oil separates. Guessing that about 1 tsp of the oil was absorbed by the onion and maintained.
