1. Melt butter in a 7 to 8-quart kettle over medium-high heat. Add carrots, turnip, celery, and onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are golden (about 15 minutes). 2. Stir in water, salt, parsley, bay leaf, and thyme. If desired, add garlic and peppercorns. Bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 1 1/2 hours. STRAIN and discard vegetables. 3. This will yield far more than you will need for this one dish, about 10 cups, but when the garden is ready and the vegetables fresh, we freeze the rest and use it throughout the year. It freezes very well for up to a year. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
