Vegetarian Mexican Soup Broth

This recipe is for the vegetarian version of a Mexican soup I made recently.  It’s got a little kick to it because of the guajillo pepper

What you need:

• 1 small onion or half a big one
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 dried guajillo pepper
• 1 carrot
• 1 stalk celery
• half a dozen peppercorns
• cilantro stalks

What you do:

1. Put everything in a pot and add about 4 cups of water.  Bring it to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for about half an hour.
2. Strain the veggies out and use the broth to make a soup.
