Use the veggies.

or compost them.

But the goal of making stock is to end up with a clear liquid, leaving them in it won't leave that... but only an hour?

Typically it is much longer than that.

Chris is on the mark, soup stock is clear. Make sure when you cook the stock down you do it barely at a simmer. DO NOT boil! This makes the stock greasy tasting. After simmering, skim the fat off and then strain through a fine sieve. The solids should be discarded. Fresh vegetables are then used, cooked only until tender.
