* | 2 onions, peeled and roughly diced into a 1/2 inch dice |
* | 4 stalks celery, roughly cut into 1/2 inch slices |
* | 2 leeks, white parts only, cleaned and roughly cut |
* | 1 head garlic, cut in half |

* | 2 bay leaves |

Notes
- The stock can be prepared a day or so in advance, but reality suggests a shortcut. Canned chicken stock may be used; be aware of certain ingredients such as msg. Under no circumstances should a bouillon cube of any kind be used.
