Leeks (chunked)
Onions (chunked)
Fennel (chunked)
Garlic (crushed)
Carrots (chunked)
Celery (chunked)
Parsley (whole, stems and all)
Thyme (whole, stems and all)

Toss the fennel, onions and leeks in a stock pot with oil. Sautee until soft, about 10 min. Add in the rest and sautee for another 10 min or so. Add 16 cups of water, bring to a boil then simmer for 2 hours.  Strain so you get every last drop of liquid. 

Simmer till you reduce by half – skim off any film from the top during reduction.  Makes 8 cups of veggie stock.
