VICTORIOUS VEGETABLE STOCK
Finally, a vegetarian stock so rich, flavorful and fragrant that it can really hold its own against chicken stock! Use this in any recipe that calls for chicken stock, or eat it alone as a lovely broth. The nutritional yeast adds nutrients, flavor and a golden color to the broth (please make sure you are not using any other type of yeast! Baker's yeast and Brewer's yeast will not work). The optional addition of parmesan rind increases the richness in a wonderful way - My local Italian deli gives it to me for free. But leave it out for a vegan / parve stock. This broth beats any packaged vegetable stock hands down, if I do say so myself :)

Steps:
- Use the flat side of a chef's knife to gently crush the garlic cloves.
- Wash unpeeled vegetables well and cut them roughly into large pieces. Add to a large stock pot along with all other ingredients. Add entire sprigs of the herbs rather than removing the leaves from the stem.
- Cover with water. Water level should be about 4 inches above the top of the vegetables. Bring to a boil, skim off any foam from the top of the broth, then partially cover. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. At the end of the cooking time, if you wish to make the stock richer, remove the lid and continue cooking uncovered to slightly reduce it.
- When the stock has cooled slightly, strain it through a sieve or cloth, pressing all of the remaining liquid out of the vegetables. Compost or discard the remaining vegetables. What you don't eat immediately can be refrigerated for 3-5 days, or frozen.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, flavorful vegetables: The quality of your vegetables will directly impact the flavor of your stock. Choose veggies that are in season and at their peak ripeness.
- Roast your vegetables before simmering: Roasting your vegetables adds depth of flavor and caramelization to your stock. Simply toss your veggies with a little oil and roast them in the oven until they are slightly browned.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of vegetables in your stock. This will create a more complex and flavorful broth.
- Add herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can help to enhance the flavor of your stock. Some good options include thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and garlic.
- Simmer your stock for at least an hour: The longer you simmer your stock, the more flavor it will develop. Aim for at least an hour, but you can simmer your stock for up to 24 hours for a really rich and flavorful broth.
- Strain your stock before using: Once your stock is finished simmering, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. This will give you a smooth, flavorful broth that is ready to use in your favorite recipes.
