Why discard the vegetables? We shouldn't be throwing away food.
I heart that Michael seem like all those veg blended would make a excellent base for some broiled fish
Obviously you can do whatever you want with the vegetables. Just do not put them back in the stock. Don't be so literal and moralistic; it's a recipe.
