Ingredient Substitution Guide

Preparation

Step 1
Combine the carrot, celery and leek in a food processor and coarsely chop. Scrape the mixture into a five-quart casserole with a tightly fitting lid. Add the remaining ingredients and four cups of cold water. Cover and cook at 100 percent power in a 650- to 700-watt oven for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Remove from the oven and uncover. Strain the broth through a fine sieve. If you wish to skim off the fat, refrigerate the broth so that the fat rises to the surface, then skim with a large spoon. Store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to two days, or freeze.
