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.
