Basic Vegetable Broth image

This is my absolute favorite vegetable broth. It's the broth I use in all of my soup recipes. The nutritional yeast is essential to its flavor and color. This is a variation of the recipe found in The Chicago Diner cookbook.

Time 1h10m

Yield 3-4 quarts, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 onion, peeled and cut into large wedges
1 carrot, peeled and cut into large pieces
1 celery rib, with leaves and cut into large pieces
3 garlic cloves, unpeeled and left whole
2 sprigs parsley
1 teaspoon salt
5 peppercorns
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1 bay leaf
2 whole cloves

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients in a large pot with 3-4 quarts of water.
  • Cover and simmer about 1 hour.
  • Strain.
  • Variations:.
  • You can make this recipe in the slow cooker, which I almost always do, on low for 6 hours or on high for 4.
  • This broth freezes very well. Keep it on hand in different sized portions for any recipe that calls for stock. Simply defrost in microwave for a few minutes before adding to another recipe.
  • You can add more vegetables and herbs, if you wish, but make sure to add more water if you increase the amount of veggies.
  • This recipe will make about 16 cups of stock. Easily double the recipe for more.
