Ingredients

1 cup chopped onion
1 cup quartered crimini mushrooms
1 cup sliced carrots
1/2 cup chopped parsnips
1/2 cup sliced celery
4 large garlic cloves, crushed, peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 cups water

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (including stems)
1 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
1 large fresh thyme sprig or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine first 6 ingredients in 13 x 9 x 2-inch roasting pan. Drizzle oil over; toss to coat. Sprinkle with salt. Roast vegetables until tender and golden, stirring occasionally, about 40 minutes. Remove from oven.

Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes. Strain. Reserve vegetables. (Can be prepared ahead. Cover broth and vegetables separately and refrigerate 2 days or freeze up to 2 weeks.)
