The End of All Things Vegetable Broth

• 1 cup onion, tips (the ends and skins of whole onions and also scallions and leeks, the dark green tops and white botto)
• 12 cup broccoli stem
• 12 cup carrot, tops (and the bottom you usually cut off)
• 1 cup asparagus spear (use the stems for the broth)
• 12 cup celery top (and leaves)
• 12-1 cup pea pods (I use edamame pods too)
• 2 -5 corn cobs (after the corn is cut off)
• 12 cup bread, heels (whole grain and dark breads are best)
• 14 cup rind brie cheese (if not going vegan)
• 12 cup tomatoes, tips
• 14 cup beet, tips and leaves
• 1 cup cauliflower stem, and leaves
• 1 cup potato skins (regular and sweet)
• 1 -2 bay leaf
• 5 -8 peppercorns
• parsley (I grab a handful from the garden)
• 1 -2 teaspoon salt

1. This is a basic list of ingredients, use whatever you have on hand.
2. I use lots of veggies in my cooking, so place the ends in a gallon freezer bag.
3. I always cut off any brown spots or ends.
4. When it's full, it's time to make the broth.
5. Actually, I usually use two full gallon bags before making broth.
6. Place in a large stockpot, and cover with water(about 1- 2 gallons).
7. Add seasonings, and salt, it helps to extract the flavor out of the veggies.
8. Bring to a boil, reduce to simmer, and cook about 2 hours.
9. You may also cook the broth in your crockpot for 6 hours or so on low, about 4 hours on high.
10. Note: I usually make this on the stove as it's too much to fit into my crockpot, and occasionally add more water if it cooks down more than I want.
11. I freeze in 1 cup plastic containers.
12. You may also freeze in zip lock bags.
13. Enjoy and feel good that you are making something so yummy from something you might have been throwing away!
14. :).
