BASIC VEGETABLE STOCK
A soup is only as good as the stock it is made from and this is a good,basic vegetable stock that I use as the base for my Tortellini Minestrone With Spinach. Since it makes a lot, I freeze it in individual batches, each bag holding enough for 1 batch of soup.You can vary the vegetables to suit your taste but watch out for strong flavoured veggies that will dominate the stock and potatoes which will make it cloudy.
