"Roasting brings out the delicious flavors of vegetables in a way that other methods of cooking fail to do. So this vegetable broth is extra flavorful and delicious. Definitely worth the time it takes to make! You might want to add some red pepper flakes to the vegetables, also."

¹⁄₂ lb mushroom
4 carrots, peeled and chopped
8 garlic cloves, peeled
2 onions, peeled and chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a baking pan with olive oil.
Place all prepared vegetables in the baking pan in a single layer. If they don't all fit, use 2 pans. Roast 1 hour in preheated oven, turning vegetables twice.
Put roasted vegetables in a soup pot. Pour 1 cup water into the baking pan and scrape up all bits. Add this to soup pot, also.
Pour over remaining water and add season to taste.
Bring to a boil and simmer 1 to 1-1/2 hours.
Strain the mixture, squeezing the liquid from the solid ingredients. Discard bouquet garni and all solids. If not using immediately, refrigerate.
