Ingredients

8 servings

2 tbsp olive oil
2 large yellow onions, roughly chopped
3 medium carrots, roughly chopped
4 celery stalks, roughly chopped
2 leeks (white and light green parts only), roughly chopped and rinsed
1 whole head of garlic, halved crosswise
8 oz cremini or white button mushrooms, halved
2 medium tomatoes, quartered
½ cup dry white wine
10 cups cold water
1 tsp salt

For the bouquet garni

6 fresh flat-leaf parsley stems
4 fresh thyme sprigs
2 dried bay leaves

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a large stockpot (8-quart or larger) over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onions, carrots, celery, leeks, garlic, and mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned at the edges, about 10–12 minutes.
2
Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until they begin to break down and release their juices, about 3 minutes.
