There are countless number of flavor packed vegetable broth recipes. Many of them require that you get rid of the vegetables after straining the broth. In this recipe, I’ll be sharing with you my secret to extracting more flavor out of the vegetables before getting rid of them.

“The People who give you their food, give you their heart”

Majority of the savory recipes I came across for my toddler son required vegetable broth. Like most first time Moms who want to be in control of what their children eat, I decided to make mine instead of using store bought broth. His meals were richer,enhanced in flavor and healthier. Seven years down the line, I am never without vegetable broth. It enhances the flavor of soups, stews, stir fries, mashed potatoes, etc

What makes this recipe different?

After straining the broth, I always blend the vegetables and strain one more time using a cheesecloth. It does not make your broth bitter and it limits waste.
