A large bunch of rosemary

Hearty Vegetable Stock (Vegan).
- Hearty Vegetable Stock (Vegan) | Serious Eats
30 gram dried mixed mushrooms such as oyster, porcini, or morel
1 medium yellow onion, split in half
1 large carrot, roughly chopped
3 stalks celery, roughly chopped
2 to 3 leeks, greens only (reserve whites for another use)
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 (4-inch) piece kombu (Kombu is dried giant sea kelp. It can be found in most Asian markets.)
3 bay leaves
6 sprigs thyme
6 sprigs parsley
1 tabespoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon coriander seed
Combine all ingredients in a large stockpot and cover with water by 1 1/2 inches.
Bring to a boil, reduce to a bare simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are completely tender and stock is aromatic and flavorful, about 40 minutes.
Remove mushrooms with tongs and set aside for another use.
Strain stock through a fine-mesh strainer.
Discard solids.
Allow stock to cool uncovered at room temperature for 1 hour.
Cover and transfer to refrigerator until completely chilled.
Refrigerated stock will keep for about 1 week.

Basic Chicken Stock.
Basic Chicken Stock | Serious Eats
The Ingredient List:
1.800 gram chicken parts, such as wings, bones, breasts, and legs
16 cups of water
2 large yellow onions, diced
4 large carrots, diced
4 large celery ribs, diced
8 crushed medium cloves garlic
2 large sprigs parsley (see note above)
2 packets unflavored gelatin dissolved in 1/2 cup cold water (optional)
OR 1/2 ratio:
900 gram chicken,
8 cups of water,
1 whole large onion,
2 large diced carrots,
2 ribs of celery,
at least 4 cloves garlic,
and a nice bunch of parsley.
Preparation Method:
1.Combine chicken, water, onions, celery, garlic, and parsley in a large stockpot and bring to a simmer over low heat. (The plain boiled diced aromatics tasted the best to me and my fellow tasters, producing a stock that was both clean and flavorful.)
Lower heat, maintaining a very gentle simmer, and cook for 1 hour 30 minutes.
Strain stock through a fine-mesh strainer, let cool, then transfer to containers and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 6 hours.
Skim off and remove any fat and scum on the surface.
Refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 6 months.
If stock is thin even after being fully refrigerated, add optional gelatin solution to stock and bring to a boil until fully dissolved, then refrigerate or freeze.
Chicken, water = 1:2 ratio by weight.
