1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and leek whites and saute, stirring, until limp, 2 to 3 minutes.

Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 30 minutes. Skim any foam.

Strain through a fine-mesh strainer or a colander lined with cheesecloth. Set stock aside (you will have about 9 cups).
