Light Vegetable Stock

1 Onion

2 Garlic cloves

1 Celery stalk

1 Carrot

1 Bouquet garni

Put all ingredients into a saucepan. Cover generously with water and bring to a boil. Simmer, half-covered, for about 1 hour, then strain. Other vegetables and flavorings, such as leeks, thinly pared lemon rind and allspice berries, can be added. Peelings from well-scrubed potatoes also give a particularly pleasant flavor to vegetable stock.
