Looking for a vegetarian or vegan soup base? It is as easy as saving clean vegetable trimmings, peels, and ends in a container in the freezer until the bag is full. Then put the frozen veggie bits in a large pot with water to fill the pot and bring to a boil. Don't forget to add a bit of salt and herbs to the broth, to bring out all those amazing flavours.
Let the veggies and water simmer together for 4 hours, adding more water as needed. When done, strain out the vegetables and compost them. You'll have ready to use vegetable broth that can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. Store it in an airtight container appropriate for the method of storage.
Vegetables that are great to use to make stock are carrots, celery, onions, garlic, beans, peas, mushrooms, limited amounts of potato peels as they can make the broth cloudy, leeks, ginger are all fantastic to add in the pot. There are vegetables you will want to limit how long they are in the broth or skip altogether. They are anything from the brassica family - kale, cabbage, broccoli, etc. They can produce a better taste when boiled for longer periods of time. Don't use them for more than one hour in broth.
