What is the Best Vegetable for Vegetable Stock?
When making a basic vegetable stock, you want vegetables with neutral, but savory flavors. Some recipes recommend adding garlic and other strong spices, but unless we know how we’re going to be using the broth, we prefer to add those kinds of seasonings when we’re actually making a dish. We also don’t add salt to the stock for the same reason. Onions, carrots, celery, and mushrooms are the ideal starter vegetables for the stock, but feel free to swap any of these for leeks, tomatoes.
Which Vegetable Are Avoid When Making Vegetable Stock:
In many recipes, add many kinds of vegetables in vegetable stock but it is not correct. If you want full of flavor and taste like as vegetable so please don’t add some veggies like turnips, potatoes.

How To Make Vegetable Stock Pakistani Food Recipe Step By Step Instructions:
Ingredients:
- Onion (1 or 2)
- Carrots (2 or 3)
- Celery Stalks (3 or 4)
- Fresh Thyme ( 4 or 5 sprigs)
- Bay Leaf (1 Leaf)
- Fresh Parsley (1 small bunch0
- Black peppercorns (1 teaspoon)
Optional Extras:
- Leeks (especially the green parts only)
- Fennel
- Tomatoes
- Mushrooms
- Mushroom stems
- Parsnips
Procedure Of Cooking:
- Onions, carrots, and celery give the stock a great base flavor, and you can round these out with any of the other vegetables listed above. You can also make stock using any amount of vegetables that you happen to have on-hand, but it’s good to have a roughly equal portion of each so the resulting stock will have a balanced flavor.
- Wash any visible dirt off the vegetables and give them a rough chop. You don’t even need to peel them first unless you really want to. (Some people even advocate leaving on the onion skins!) Throw all the vegetables in a pot big enough to hold them plus a few extra inches of water.
- Cover the vegetables with enough water that you can easily stir them in the pot. Less water means that your stock will be more concentrated; more water makes a lighter-flavored stock. Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring it to just under a boil. Once you start to see some bubbling around the edges of the pot and a few wisps of steam on the surface, turn the heat down to medium-low.
- This isn’t an exact science, but one hour is generally enough time to infuse the water with vegetable goodness. If you need to take it off the heat a little early or don’t get to it until a little later, it will be fine. Give it a stir every now and again to circulate the vegetables.
- Take the pot off the stove and remove all the vegetables with a slotted spoon. Set a colander or strainer over a big bowl and line it with cheesecloth or coffee filters. Pour the stock through. If not using immediately, divide the stock into storage containers, cool completely, and then freeze.
