Ingredients
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 4 cups sweet onions (sliced medium)
- 3½ cups carrots (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 2½ cups tomatoes (cored and cut into wedges)
- 1 green pepper (sliced into 1-inch pieces)
- 2 cups turnips (1 inch cubes)
- 3 cups celery (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- ½ cup fresh parsley (roughly chopped)
- 3 cloves garlic (sliced in 4)
- 5 whole black peppercorns
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 16 cups water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°.
- In a large bowl add the onions, tomatoes, carrots, green peppers, and turnips and drizzle with olive oil and stir well to ensure well coated. Place veggies onto a large baking sheet.
- Roast in the oven stirring veggies every 15 minutes, until vegetables are tender and onions are caramelized, about 50 minutes.
- In a large stock pot add the roasted vegetables, water and the rest of the ingredients.
- Bring to a low simmer over medium high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by almost half. About 30 to 40 minutes.
- Pour the vegetable broth through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer into a large bowl. You can eat the vegetables or put them in a freezable container for another use.

Notes
- Feel free to also use clean onion skins, celery leaves and clean unpeeled carrots as these are also great for adding flavor to your vegetable broth.
