Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium carrots
- 3 stalks celery stalks
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 large zucchini
- 1 small bunch fresh parsley
- 6 sprigs fresh thyme
- 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 2 leaves bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 12 cups water
Instructions
Wash and roughly chop the carrots, celery, zucchini, and onion. You do not need to peel the vegetables, as the peels will add more flavor to the broth.
Smash the garlic cloves using the flat side of a knife to release their oils.
In a large stockpot, add the chopped vegetables, garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, peppercorns, and salt.
Pour in 12 cups of water and bring the pot to a boil over high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer uncovered for 1 hour. Stir occasionally to ensure all flavors meld together.
After 1 hour, taste the broth and adjust the salt if needed.
Strain the broth using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl, discarding the solids.
Let the broth cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
