Veggie broth?!
Answers: How do I make a yummy vegetable broth (for soup) from scratch? Thanks :)
Boil carrots, onions, potatoes, celery. If you like stewed tomatoes in your soup put that in also. whatever seasoning you like personally I like Mrs. Dash. Add enough water to cover good. Boil on slow boil. If you only want broth, then strain your veg. out of the broth. Refrigerate for up to 3 or 4 days.
Use the skins and peels from the vegetables you'll be including in the dish/s you'll be making. Such as celery, onions and carrots, aromatics like garlic and fresh or dried herbs. Brown these in a little oil and then add water and cook for an hour or two. Strain out the vegetable matter and use the stock or chill or freeze for later use. Ice cube trays or little ziploc bags are a great way to freeze small quantities of stock to add to rice or sauces.
you typed it .. just add
it seems silly but you can add many canned veggies
Like left over water chestnuts from the turkey or those mini corn and bamboo shoots..
