1
Prepare the Vegetables
Chop the onion, carrots, and celery into small pieces. Crush the garlic cloves.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a large stock pot, combine the chopped onion, carrots, celery, garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns.
3
Add Water
Pour in enough cold water to cover the vegetables by about an inch, usually around 12-16 cups.
4
Simmer
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered for about 4-6 hours.
5
Strain the Stock
After simmering, remove the pot from heat and strain the stock through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into another pot, discarding the solids.
6
Cool and Store
Let the stock cool completely before transferring it to storage containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
