Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Carrots
- 3 medium Celery stalks
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 4 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Tomato
- 2 whole Bay leaves
- 1 small bunch Fresh parsley
- 5 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon Peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 10 cups Water
Instructions
Wash all the vegetables thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
Peel the carrots and onion. Roughly chop the carrots, celery, onion, zucchini, and tomato into large chunks. Smash the garlic cloves with the flat side of a knife to release their aroma.
In a large stockpot, combine the chopped vegetables, bay leaves, parsley, thyme, peppercorns, and sea salt.
Add 10 cups of water to the pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer uncovered for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt to suit your preference.
After 60 minutes, remove the pot from heat. Strain the broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or another pot, discarding the solids.
Let the broth cool to room temperature before storing. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
Use as a base for soups, stews, or enjoy warm as a nourishing drink.
