Vegetable broth

Chop the leek. Add it, along with the garlic, to a large pot with the oil. Cook over medium heat with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Add and sauté the rest of the vegetables. Finally add the water and two teaspoons of salt. Turn the heat up to high. When it starts to boil, lower to medium heat and cover. Cook for about an hour and a half. Rectify salt to taste.

Pass the broth through a strainer and it is ready to eat or cook with your favorite pasta. Optional: You can use the vegetables to make a puree or cream. Enjoy Realfooder!
