Vegetable
Stock
4 qts water
2 cups lentils OR 1 1/2 cups haricots
1 carrot
1 turnip
1 onion
1/4 head of celery
To 4 quarts
water allow 2 cups lentils, or rather less than 2 cups haricots.
Clean apple peelings and cores, and any fresh vegetable cuttings
may also be added.
For a white
stock, use the white haricot beans, rice, or macaroni in place of
lentils or brown haricots.
Soak the beans
overnight, and simmer with the vegetables for 4 hours. Any stock
not used should be emptied out of the stockpot, and boiled up fresh
each day.
