Vegan
MoFo 2016 – Day 14 Homemade Vegetable
Broth
Happy 14th
day of Vegan MoFo!
I feel like I’ve
posted my homemade vegetable broth but I can’t seem to find it on my blog. So, I’ll post it anyway. It’s not really a recipe but a process.
I put all the
scraps from my veggies when I’m cutting them up for a recipe into a big ziplock
baggie. I put the ends of onions and the
skins, potato peelings, carrot peelings and ends, zucchini ends, mushroom
trimmings, the celery bottom, etc. As
long as it isn’t broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage or Brussel sprouts, then it
will probably make it into my broth bag and I keep it in the freezer.
When I’m ready
to make some veggie broth, I just grab a bag of the veggie trimmings and put it
in a big stock pot, fill it with water and add about a tablespoon of salt. I bring it to a boil and then let it simmer
for hours adding water as necessary. It’s
the yummiest broth. I will need to make
some soups soon though I think I have about 6 bags in my freezers right
now! This broth is excellent where you
need broth and it’s wonderful by itself! There is no need to ever buy broth again.
You know, I've never made my own broth - I should definitely try it! I like your idea of keeping vegetable leftovers in the freezer until you're ready to make a batch.
