Description
This is my easy method for making homemade vegetable broth for free! You can stretch your grocery budget just a little bit further by using the vegetable scraps (saved in the freezer, over time) that you might otherwise throw away.
Ingredients
- Vegetable scraps like:
- Carrots
- Celery
- Onions
- Potatoes
- Peppers (not spicy)
- Herbs
Water to cover
1/2 tsp kosher salt
Instructions
- Pull: Pull out your scraps from the freezer and empty them into a stockpot or cast iron dutch oven.
- Fill: Cover with water and add salt.
- Boil: Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Simmer: Reduce to a simmer over medium-low heat for one hour, adding any fresh herbs halfway through.
