Ingredients

  • 1/2 small head of green cabbage (about 1 pound), thinly sliced
  • 1 large carrot, coarsely grated
  • 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced
  • 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 head garlic, broken apart into cloves and unpeeled cloves smashed with the flat side of a knife
  • 3 sprigs thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
  • 9 cups water

Directions

  1. 1.

    Combine all the ingredients in a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Decrease the heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered for about 1 hour. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. (Compost the solids.) Use immediately or let cool and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or the freezer for up to 6 months.
