Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: You can make this recipe up to 3 days ahead of time. Keep refrigerated before using.
- How to Store: Cover and refrigerate for up to 7 days. This will freeze very well covered for up to 6 months. Be sure to completely cool the stock before freezing.
- How to Reheat: Add your desired amount to a saucepot and cook over low heat until warmed.
- Before using your vegetable stock, it is wise to season it with salt and pepper.
- Sweating vegetables when cooking means cooking over low heat to soften but not too brown.
- It is absolutely fine if your vegetable stock is lighter or darker than mine.
