5 Whole Garlic Heads
2 Bacon slices — diced
1 c Onion — diced
1 c Carrot — diced

bacon and garlic.
Remove white papery skin from each garlic head (do
not peel or separate cloves). Wrap each head
separately in aluminum foil. Bake at 350F degrees for
1 hour; let cool for 10 minutes. Separate cloves, and
squeeze to extract 1/4 cup of garlic pulp; discard the
skins.
Cook bacon in a large saucepan over medium-high
heat until crisp. Add onion, carrot, and minced
garlic, and saute 5 minutes. Add potato, broth, salt,
pepper, and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce
heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until potato is tender;
remove bay leaf.
Combine garlic pulp and 2 cups potato mixture in a
blender or food processor and process until smooth.
Return puree to pan; stir in milk, and cook over low
heat until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat and
stir in chopped parsley.

In large kettle, boil water.

Add
celery
carrots
asparagus
turnips
parsley
greens
potato peels
dandelion leaves
heaven knows what else

Reduce heat and simmer for hours and hours until stock is reduced
by at least half. The more you reduce it, the easier it is to store-
you can always thin it at cook time.

I use the ends/clippings/peelings/scraps from whatever I’m cooking to
make stock, so the exact recipe varies from time to time. If I don’t
have enough to make stock, I freeze the scraps until I get a pots worth.

A French cookbook will tell you to use a bouquet garni’ in the stock-
it’s made from a combination of spices- I think it’s the Simon and
Garfunkel mix (parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme)- wrapped in cheesecloth,
tied with a string, and dangled in the stock for part of the simmering.

Anyway, when you’re done, strain the stock, cool and freeze the liquid,
