Notes
- Storage: Allow the vegetable broth to cool completely. Then store the cooled broth in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However feel free to swap out the herbs for other kinds or use chickpeas instead of white beans. But the white beans will give the best consistency.
