First, we sauté the shells for about 3-5 minutes in a pot over medium heat.

Toss in everything else! Bring everything to a boil then reduce the heat and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once it’s had a chance to cook and the water has been infused with all kinds of deliciousness, your stock is ready.

Transfer the stock to a mason jar and allow it to cool completely before putting the lid on.
