Quick Vegetable Stock
Fresh stocks are now available in tubs from supermarkets, but if you need a large quantity these can be expensive. Powdered, gluten-free vegetable stock, made by Marigold, is widely available – an excellent storecupboard standby. Here's how to make vegetable stock which can be used in my soup recipes.
Ingredients
1 stick of celery, cut in half and split lengthways
2 small carrots, split in half lengthways
2 small onions, sliced
2 bay leaves
12 black peppercorns
1 small bunch of parsley stalks and celery leaves
pinch of salt
Simply place all the ingredients in a saucepan with 1-1½ pints (570-850 ml) cold water, cover it with a lid, bring everything to the boil, and boil briskly for 30 minutes. After that strain, discarding the vegetables, and the stock is ready for use.
