Ingredients
- 6 cups vegetable scraps (onion ends, carrot peels, celery tops, herb stems)
- 2 garlic cloves, smashed
- 10 cups water
- 1 bay leaf (optional)
Amounts are scaled from the original 8 servings; cooking times may change for bigger batches.
Steps
- Use clean scraps you've saved in the freezer; skip anything moldy, and go light on cabbage or broccoli, which turn bitter.
- Cover with water, bring to a boil and simmer uncovered 45-60 minutes.
- Strain, cool quickly and refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze in portions.
