Vegetable Broth

I can't believe I didn't start this sooner. There is absolutely no excuse for buying veggie broth from the store when I use as many vegetables as I do.

Here's what you do:

1. Collect all of your vegetable scraps for a week (onion peels, garlic ends, broccoli stalks, pepper stems...) Keep them in a covered container in the fridge.

2. At the end of the week, put all the scraps in a covered pot with water. Add a little salt and thyme or oregano.

3. Let the pot simmer for an hour and a half (it makes the kitchen smell so nice).

4. Strain the broth.

VoilĂ ! I'm going to use the broth for a soup, but you can also freeze it and use it later.
