One of our subscribers commented that the a good ratio for the vegetables are : 2:1:1 ratio. 50% onion 25% carrot 25% celery.

Keep in mind that this a simple version of the bouillon de légumes or fat free vegetable stock. There are many variants that exist so feel free to add more vegetables but refrain form using, tomatoes, starchy vegetables, and any vegetables that would color your stock (like beetroot for example)
