Coarsely chop all the vegetables.
Heat a good splash of olive oil in a cooking pot over high heat.
Add the onion and cook until softened. Add the remaining ingredients and cook for 3-4 minutes until they soften slightly.
Pour in 2 liters of water and season with a bit of salt and pepper.
Once it starts to boil, reduce heat to medium-low and with the lid on leaving it slightly open on the side, simmer for about 45 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the stock cool down. Then pass through a sieve and discard the vegetables.
Store the stock in glass jars in the fridge for 5-6 days or in silicone muffins pans in the freezer. Use in soups, stews, and sauces.
