Don't throw away those vegetable scraps! Use them to make your own delicious vegetable broth instead. It's easy and it's so much cheaper than buying broth at the grocery store.

Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 2 onions large, chopped
- 3 ribs celery chopped
- 3 carrots chopped
- 8 cups water
- frozen vegetable scraps 2-3 cups is a good amount
- 2 bay leaves
- parsley a few sprigs
- thyme a few sprigs
- salt and pepper to taste, omit if you are making stock
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat.
- Add the garlic, onions, celery, and carrots. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the water, frozen vegetable scraps, bay leaves, parsley, and thyme. Reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for 45 minutes.
- Pour the broth through a fine mesh strainer into a large heat-proof bowl or pot; discard solids.
- Once the broth has cooled, transfer it to airtight plastic containers or freezer bags and store it in the freezer. (I usually freeze it in 2-cup portions so I don't have to thaw all the broth every time I use it.)
