Crockpot Vegetable Stock/Broth

I read somewhere that stock isn't seasoned while broth is. At any rate, I made this in the crockpot because I needed two cups of it for a soup I'm making. Smells lovely. And the best part? No onions.

Heat/Time: 6-8 hours on Low

Ingredients

8 c filtered water
3 organic carrots, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
5 garlic cloves, chopped
2 bay leaves
few sprigs of fresh thyme
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
1 sprig of fresh oregano, leaves only
freshly ground black pepper
pinch of sea salt

Yield: 1 quart plus 3 cups of broth

Strain the broth into a 5-quart bowl, then decant to other containers for storage.
