Notes
Tip 1
You can use any leftover raw vegetables to make this broth. Some of my favorites are onions, tomatoes, peppers, celery, garlic, carrots and leeks. I typically save all the tops of vegetables when I am preparing meals. I store them in a container in the refrigerator. On the day of broth making, I gather any vegetables and fresh spices that are about to expire to add to the pot.
Tip 2
Feel free to use the skins of any allium family of vegetables. They will add color to the broth.
Tip 3
You can throw all the vegetables and spices in a crock pot and cook on high for 6-8 hours.
