<p>how do you go about making veggie stock?</p>

 

[SportiGrl]

<p>lots of cut up veggies, like leek, onion, celery, parsnip, tomoto peelings, mushroom stalks, yellow bell peppers, and some herbs/spices like ginger root, parsley, thyme, salt and pepper with a little soy sauce  ... in 3 3/4 quart water brought to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer for 30 or so minutes ... cool and strain liquid off to be used as veggie stock for various yummy soups!</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Like spicy peanut soup!</p>

throw them out?  It looks like a pile of garbage after cooking but I've thought of using  them for something ...part of why you use only the peelings of tomatoes and the stalks of mushrooms and leave the skin on the onion and such ...  even with all the veggies cost taken into acount the amount of broth I made saves me a LOT of money compared with what the same volume of Chicken Broth would cost me if I were to use it as a base for the soups ...<br>
