Hm. I generally do as I was taught, which is to start putting in vegetables until it looks/smells right. I usually use-- these are pure estimates!-- 2-3 bunches of celery leaves and small stalks, chopped up. 1 lb carrots, chopped up 3-4 large onions, chopped 2-3 turnips (depending on size) 1-3 parsnips parsley random greens 1 bulb garlic, peeled and smooshed Parsley root if I can get it For a mushroom soup, I'll add mushroom ends (the bits you cut off the mushrooms when prepping them) Salt Pepper if I can get away with a little, depending on the recipe.
1 part veg to 2 parts water. Cook until it is enough and strain out vegs; discard.
