Vegetable Broth

A simple, flavorful homemade broth from kitchen scraps or fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Pretty much any vegetables work here. This is a good starting point.

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to the pot.
  2. Pressure cook on high for 15 minutes, then natural release.
  3. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, pressing on the solids to extract flavor. Discard solids.
  4. Season with salt. Use immediately or store.

Notes

Freeze in 2-cup portions for easy use. Mushroom stems, leek tops, and fennel fronds all work well here. Avoid brassicas (broccoli, cabbage) as they turn bitter.
