This vegan broth is slightly thick with rich color and full flavor. The broth can be frozen in 1- or 1 1/2-cup blocks for later use. This recipe also leaves you with a bowl full of deliciously cooked vegetables. I love to snack on them!

Roast in the preheated oven, stirring every 15 minutes, until vegetables are tender and onions are caramelized, about 1 hour.

Transfer roasted vegetables into a large stockpot. Add celery, parsley, garlic, peppercorns, cloves, and bay leaf. Pour in water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, until liquid is reduced by half, 20 to 40 minutes.
