How To Make A Better Broth Recipe

How To Make A Better Broth

From tuilelaith 15 years ago

I do this all of the time and thought I would share this with all of you frugal cookers out here.

Every time I open a can of veggies I drain the liquid off in to those 1/2 gallon plastic milk jugs. shopping list
I then place this in the freezer. shopping list
When they are full you can thaw this liquid out and use it as the base to make many a soup from. shopping list
It is full of all of the good stuff and has great flavor. shopping list
And yes I even add the spinach liquid. shopping list
I add the beef, pork and chicken liquid too, but not the tuna. My cats get that! shopping list

Right on!
I also save veggie scraps and peelings for veggie broth. Works great! Then, the used pieces can go either in the garbage, or preferably, the compost bin :+D

I often use cans of veg and I never thought to save the liquid and freeze it. Thanks for the idea!

Smart Lady.
I sent you a PM & they really hurt me so I think I'm going to sign off for a while.
People can be so boorish & just plain nasty. It seems to come so easily to some.
I hope Jo takes me out back & shoots me if I ever turned into one.
You know, this would be a good base for gazpacho. It's a cold summer vegetable soup.
If you remind me, I'll tell you how to make it.

Thank you for posting this.I have always used the juice from my canned vegies but I taste it to be sure it has some flavor and I check the label for things I don't want like MSG .
