  • 2 stalks celery, peeled and sliced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped into 1/4 inch dice
  • 1 leek, white part only, cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced, rinsed in a large bowl to remove grit
  • 1 bulb fennel, tough outer parts removed, chopped into 1/4 inch dice
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
