Ingredients 1 ounce dried mixed mushrooms such as oyster, porcini, or morel
1 medium yellow onion, split in half
1 large carrot, roughly chopped
3 stalks celery, roughly chopped
2 to 3 leeks, greens only (reserve whites for another use)
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 (4-inch) piece kombu (optional)
3 bay leaves
6 sprigs thyme
6 sprigs parsley
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon fennel seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds

Directions Combine all ingredients in a large stockpot and cover with water by 1 1/2 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce to a bare simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are completely tender and stock is aromatic and flavorful, about 40 minutes. Remove mushrooms with tongs and set aside for another use. Strain stock through a fine-mesh strainer. Discard solids. Allow stock to cool uncovered at room temperature for 1 hour. Cover and transfer to refrigerator until completely chilled. Refrigerated stock will keep for about 1 week.

Notes Freezer scraps of carrot/onion/leek (or other good veggie stock items) can be used in place of new.

Notes on other possible veggies for stock:

CAN INCLUDE
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Beets (no skin). Will darken the stock.
Chard/Leafy Greens (only in small amounts)
Green Beens (only in small amounts)
Okra (small amounts)
Onion Skins (will darken, but some is good)
Parsnips (good in small amounts)
Peas (good in small amounts)
Bell Peppers (good in small amounts)
Potato Peels (good in small amounts, makes it earthy)
Tomato (good, but avoid too many seeds as they can be bitter)
Zucchini (good in small amounts)

AVOID
~~~~~~~~
Bok Choy (bitter)
Broccoli (bitter)
Cabbage (bitter)
Corn (just doesn't add anything)
Kale (bitter)
Pumpkin and other Squash (too starchy)
Radish (not good)
Rutabagas (bitter)
Turnips (too strong)
