Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3 sm Carrots, diced
2 sm Parsnips, diced
1 md Turnip, cut in chunks
2 ea Celery stalks, diced
Celery leaves from
1 lg Onion, stuck with 2 cloves
1 cn Tomatoes with liquid
1 cn Tomato paste
1 sm Bn flat-leaf parsley
1 ea Bay leaf
Fresh rosemary and thyme
Black peppercorns

Put 3 quarts of water in the bottom of a large stock
pot with a pasta insert. Add the tomato liquid and
tomato paste. Put all of the other ingredients in the
pasta insert. Bring to a boil over high heat, lower
the heat, cover and simmer for about 3 hours. Lift out
the pasta insert, letting out the liquid fall back
into the pot. Press down on the solids to extract as
much liquid as possible and return all the liquid to
the pot. Discard the solids.

Note: This started out to be vegetable stock to use up
some leftover stuff I had on hand, but after I
strained the stock I decided to use it as a cooking
liquid for pasta. The pasta thickened and flavored the
stock to such an extent that I decided to save the
leftovers to use as a tomato-vegetable soup. I may add
some vegetables and small pasta to that.
