By: Kara Parnell Some recipes are fun to make, because the ingredient list is full of exciting ingredients like black truffle oil, caviar from Herring in the Baltic Sea, or 1,000 day Gouda, made with Yak's milk from the Himalayas. This recipe for Homemade Veggie Broth however, is fun to make because it's made with ingredients you never really knew were ingredients at all. In this recipe, the star ingredients are those veggie scraps you've been tossing in your compost pile! Next time you chop up and onion, peel a carrot, or slice up some celery or some mushrooms, instead of tossing the stems and leftover bits, throw them in a large zip-lock freezer bag. When the bag is full, pull it out of your freezer, and whip up a batch of this warm, healthy, tasty broth! This broth makes the perfect, quick base for a favorite homemade soup. Try cooking rice in this veggie broth instead of water, for a major flavour and nutrition boost. It will store nicely in the fridge for up to a week, and for three months in the freezer. Soups on!
