Notes

Vegetable broth is very easy to make at home.

 

Simply add your favorite vegetables to a stock pot, cover with cold water and add a bit of your favorite low sodium seasoning. Boil for approximately one hour and you now have beautiful homemade broth.

 

You can use any vegetables and they may be freshly chopped, scraps (think carrot peels) or even the pulp from your juicer.
