Veggie Broth

The Ingredients

carrots

celery
garlic cloves

onions (red and yellow)

green peppers

tomatoes

tomato paste

whole black peppercorns

bay leaves

salt

olive oil

parsley
splash of tamari

Coat the bottom of a pot with olive oil. Add onions, then add the rest of the ingredients- like the way you would cook them in. Add water to fully cover all vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat for at least 30 minutes to get out all the flavors. Use a strainer to separate the vegetables from the broth. Then, a splash of tamari for some savory flavor. I added the broth to a pitcher afterwards to make it easier to pour into ice trays. Freeze into cubes to store. They are super easy to work with since they take such little time to thaw out. The amount of salt and tomato paste used depends on the flavor you are trying to get. This made two full ice trays and them some. 

Enjoy in soups and a variety of other dishes!
