Peel all the vegetables and garlic.
Add to a large pot with the water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the vegetables are very, very soft. Poke with a knife and make sure it comes out clean.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the vegetables to a blender with 1 cup of the liquid. Blend smooth.
Return the blended mixture to the pot with the remaining liquid and stir to make the final broth.
(If you want to lighten the color or make this go farther, you can add 1-2 cups additional water. You can also mix with chicken broth.)
Use in soups, and pastas, or store for future use.
