making your own stock c/d

by the time i'm ready to cook the main stew, i'll will already have a stock hot and ready to add, comes to a boil in like 1 minute

when i cook mexican soups or stews i use a red stock recipe that comes out really spectacularly, i might even use bean broth instead of water for it for extra flavor and complexity.

chickpea broth (from cooking dried chickpeas obv) is a really good substitute for stock, too
