Vegetarian Broth

Using a gallon size freezer bag, save and freeze spare cuttings from ALL your cleaned and scrubbed fresh vegetables: onion skins, zucchini and cucumber ends, potato peels, carrot tips, carrot peels, tomatoes, celery, greens, garlic paper. The possibilities are endless !

When the freezer bag is full, pour the frozen cuttings into a large cooking pan. Fill with water (ratio 2 - 3 parts water to vegetables). Bring to boil and simmer until you get a rich, nice looking broth.

Strain the broth into another pan (the veggies can be composted).

You've now got a healthy vegetarian broth (that was virtually free). ;)

For soup, use cooked pasta, cubed or sliced fresh veggies, frozen veggies, cooked lentils, cooked beans, cooked rice. Bring to a boil, simmer till the veggies are done, and spice to taste.

Go through your fridge and cupboards and use your leftovers and imagination!

Roasting the veggies first gives the broth a nice flavor.

RE: Vegetarian Broth

Thanks for the money saving tip. Now instead of throwing my vegetable peels in the garbage, I'll freeze the scraps and make vegetable broth.
