Tomato paste

Hardy herbs

Salt

Saute (Optional): To intensify flavors, optionally heat a splash of oil in a large pot and add your chosen veggies. Saute until warm and fragrant, about 10 minutes.
Boil: Add 10 cups of cold water, or enough to cover the veggies. Optionally add a spoonful of tomato paste or hardy herbs. Cover with a lid and bring to a gentle boil for 45 to 60 minutes.
Strain: Place a large bowl under a strainer and strain the veggies from the broth.
Cool: Optionally add a dash of salt to intensify the flavors. Let cool before portioning into glass jars. Store in the fridge until ready to enjoy.
