The bouquet garni (French for "garnished bouquet") is a bundle of [[herbs]] usually tied together with string and mainly used to prepare [[soup]], [[stock]], and various [[stews]]. The bouquet is boiled (usually for a long time) with the other ingredients, but is removed prior to consumption.

There is no generic recipe for bouquet garni, but most recipes include [[parsley]], [[thyme]] and [[bay leaf]]. Depending on the recipe, the bouquet garni may include [[basil]], [[celery|celery leaves]], [[thyme]], [[chervil]], [[rosemary]], [[peppercorns]], [[savory]] and [[tarragon]]. Sometimes, [[vegetables]] such as [[carrot]], [[celery]], [[celery|celery root]], [[leek]], [[onion]] and [[Parsley|parsley root]], are also included in the bouquet.  For [[stock]] making, the most common [[herbs]] are [[thyme]], [[parsley]] and [[bay leaves]].

Occasionally, the bouquet is not bound with string, and its ingredients are instead filled into a small sachet, a net, or even a tea strainer, when it is known as a [[Sachet d'épices|sachet d'épices]].

Traditionally, the aromatics are bound within [[leek]] leaves, though a coffee filter or [[butcher's twine]]/[[kitchen string]] can be used in their place.
