Vegetable Stock

Prep Time
15 minutes
Cook Time
60 minutes
Yield
2 quarts

Consider much of the ingredient list below to be a suggestion – a flavorful, fresh vegetable stock can be made easily with vegetable trimmings and parts that you have on hand.  Feel free to use other vegetables, avoiding starchy vegetables or vegetables that will produce a finished broth with a strong odor or color (like beets).
