Vegan Vegetable Broth Recipe
Make a savory vegan vegetable broth in about 45 minutes or less by using basic ingredients. Instead of buying already made boxed broth, which most likely contains additives to maintain its shelf life, try this easy recipe and learn the basics of making your own vegan vegetable stock from scratch. Broth is what makes the savory flavors stand out in most soup recipes. The trick is using vegetables that you would otherwise throw out or that may be wilting as long as they are not showing signs of discoloration. Using leafy greens such as thyme, parsley, bay leafs and other herbs to extract their flavors and their juices is key. In the process of extracting certain flavors from all the vegetables are mostly important for getting the acquired taste for your broth. A few necessary ingredients to get you started on making a hearty broth by scratch is using water, onion or leeks, carrots, and celery.
