HOMEMADE VEGETABLE BROTH / STOCK (LOW SODIUM)
Stop buying those cans of broth; making your own is SO EASY you'll freak. And, about one million times better for you, too. This I make is low-sodium style. I don't like salty broths; if I need to, I'll just add salt to the dish I am making while using the broth. But if you like a salty broth, add more salt than what I put in...

Steps:
- 1. Wash veggies, rinsing off any dirt. Peel onion, but don't need to peel any of the others. Chop onion into large chunks.
- 2. Roughly chop veggies except for garlic, tomato and jalapeno; don't chop too small, just enough to fit them into the pot. Bell pepper can be cut into 2 or 3 chunks. Add jalapeno whole. Don't peel the carrots. Add all to stock pot with water.
- 3. Chop off ends of garlic. Add to pot, peel and all.
- 4. Add salt and soy sauce. (You can add any other vegetable you have on hand; I added fennel, green onions and cherry tomatoes because I had a lot left over. The beauty of broth making is that you can utilize all your leftover veggies into it).
- 5. Cover and simmer for about 2 - 3 hours, until veggies are tender and broth is flavorful.
- 6. Turn off heat, move pot away from burner, leave covered, and let cool for about 30 minutes.
- 7. Strain away the vegetables, leaving a clean broth behind.

Tips:
- Use a variety of vegetables. The more vegetables you use, the more flavorful your broth will be. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, leeks, parsnips, turnips, and mushrooms.
- Roast your vegetables before making the broth. Roasting the vegetables will caramelize them and give your broth a deeper flavor.
- Use a slow cooker to make your broth. A slow cooker is a great way to make broth because it allows the vegetables to simmer for a long time, which extracts the maximum flavor.
- Add salt and pepper to taste. Once your broth is finished, taste it and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Store your broth in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze it for up to 6 months.
Conclusion:
Making your own vegetable broth is a great way to save money, reduce waste, and improve the flavor of your cooking. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious and nutritious broth that can be used in a variety of dishes.
