Make Vegetable Broth Without Buying Anything

You can make this simple recipe without buying a single ingredient. You will just be using what you were going to toss out.

What you need to do is start to save your vegetable scraps and store them in the freezer. This includes any or all of the following:

  • Carrot tops
  • Beet tops
  • Veggies or herbs that were starting to go bad
  • Kale stems
  • Onion skins
  • Celery leaves
  • The bottom part of celery
  • Pretty much any vegetable scrap

When you are ready to make the broth

  • Pull the food scraps out of the freezer
  • Fill the pot about 1/2 to 3/4 way with the frozen veggies
  • Cover with water
  • Put on stove at a low to medium heat
  • Let it slowly boil for anywhere from 1-4 hours
  • Remove pot from stove and strain out the veggies
  • You’ll be left with the vegetable broth

That’s it. Pretty simple. Certain vegetables and herbs will lead to different flavors. Experiment and see what works best for you.

A New Topic: Garden Recipes

When I posted a question on Facebook asking what posts people would like me to write, recipes were mentioned. I used to keep a raw recipe blog, but stopped that long ago.

Since people are interested, I’ll give em what they want.

To start, once a month, I will post a simple recipe for something that is in season that you can get from your garden or the farmers market.

If there are any fruits or veggies that you are looking for new ideas as how to prepare or have no idea how to prepare, let me know. I’ll try to hook up the recipe.

What’s your thoughts on this new topic? And hit me up with what you’d like to see recipes for.
