Instructions

Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned.
Add leeks, garlic, parsnips, turnips, and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add 10 cups water, parsley, peppercorns, thyme, bay leaves, tomatoes, rosemary, and a pinch of salt; stir well.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 45 minutes.
Arrange a fine mesh sieve over a large bowl, then strain broth through sieve, pressing on the solids to remove as much liquid as possible; discard solids.
Cool broth quickly by placing the bowl inside a larger bowl filled with ice water.
Stir often until cool, then transfer to airtight containers and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
Alternately, freeze the cooled broth for up to 2 months.
