THE END OF ALL THINGS VEGETABLE BROTH



The End of All Things Vegetable Broth image

This is an inexpensive, easy, and so very tasty way to make vegetable broth. And so thrifty! I just love no waste! The options are plentiful! I freeze in 1 cup plastic containers or zip lock bags to use in soups, sauces, cooking rice, etc. The computer needs volume so I have put approximate amounts for the veggies, but use how much you want. It all depends on what veggies you use frequently. Sometimes I add a little tomato paste or leftover sauce, leftover gravy, whatever would enhance the flavor of the broth. Have fun!

Time 2h10m

Yield 3-4 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup onion, tips (the ends and skins of whole onions and also scallions and leeks, the dark green tops and white botto)
1/2 cup broccoli stem
1/2 cup carrot, tops (and the bottom you usually cut off)
1 cup asparagus spear (use the stems for the broth)
1/2 cup celery top (and leaves)
1/2-1 cup pea pods (I use edamame pods too)
2 -5 corn cobs (after the corn is cut off)
1/2 cup bread, heels (whole grain and dark breads are best)
1/4 cup rind brie cheese (if not going vegan)
1/2 cup tomatoes, tips
1/4 cup beet, tips and leaves
1 cup cauliflower stem, and leaves
1 cup potato skins (regular and sweet)
1 -2 bay leaf
5 -8 peppercorns
parsley (I grab a handful from the garden)
1 -2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • This is a basic list of ingredients, use whatever you have on hand. I use lots of veggies in my cooking, so place the ends in a gallon freezer bag. I always cut off any brown spots or ends. When it's full, it's time to make the broth. Actually, I usually use two full gallon bags before making broth.
  • Place in a large stockpot, and cover with water(about 1- 2 gallons). Add seasonings, and salt, it helps to extract the flavor out of the veggies. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, and cook about 2 hours.
  • You may also cook the broth in your crockpot for 6 hours or so on low, about 4 hours on high.
  • Note: I usually make this on the stove as it's too much to fit into my crockpot, and occasionally add more water if it cooks down more than I want. I freeze in 1 cup plastic containers. You may also freeze in zip lock bags. Enjoy and feel good that you are making something so yummy from something you might have been throwing away! :).

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. The more types of vegetables you use, the more flavorful your broth will be. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, leeks, tomatoes, mushrooms, and herbs like parsley, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Roast your vegetables before simmering them. Roasting the vegetables will caramelize them and bring out their natural sweetness, resulting in a more flavorful broth.
  • Don't overcrowd your pot. If you put too many vegetables in the pot, they won't cook evenly and the broth will be watery. Aim to fill the pot no more than two-thirds full.
  • Simmer your broth for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors of the vegetables to infuse into the broth.
  • Strain your broth before using it. This will remove any solids from the broth, resulting in a smooth, clear broth.

Conclusion:

Vegetable broth is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, from soups and stews to sauces and gravies. By following these tips, you can make a delicious and flavorful vegetable broth that will enhance the flavor of your favorite recipes.
