I used this stock in Recipe #399373 which was absolutely delicious. I used canola oil, yellow potato, button mushrooms, sea salt and did not use the optional lentils. I will be making this again when I want a good vegetable stock or in a recipe that calls for meat stock rather than chicken stock insha Allah.

Made this as a gift for my son & his wife (minus 2 cups for my own use!) & will definitely be making this GREAT TASTING VEGGIE STOCK again & again! I did use a large yam as well as the mushrooms (believe it or not!) & the lentils! Definitely a keeper of a recipe! Thanks for posting it! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Newest Zaar]

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
