Vegetable Broth

Vegetable Broth

For over a month, I have been making my own vegetable broth. I wanted to share this recipe, because I love it. I drink a cup of it for a quick snack, before most meals, or if I am still feeling hungry after a meal.

Turnip and Jalapeno

I enjoy the little bit of heat the jalapeno pepper gives this broth. I also add  some fresh ginger(not pictured) to the broth which gives it some lovely spiciness, as well.

Parsnips

All the vegetables and herbs in this broth provide wonderful nutrients. Make sure you peel your root vegetables if you do not know your source.

Fresh Thyme and Parsley

We picked this thyme and parsley from our herb garden. We feel so fortunate, both are growing like crazy this time of year.

Shitake Mushroom

I really like the flavor that the shitake mushroom provides, a bit earthy, and delicious.

Vegetable Broth

I have made a couple soups with this vegetable broth. Dominic and my girls really liked them. I will post my onion, mushroom soup, and my ground turkey with white beans, and tomatoes in a few days. This recipe is adapted from Mark Hyland’s Ultra Broth recipe
