Instructions
Fill a large stockpot with vegetable scraps and then fill the pot with water.
Add vegetable scraps (onions, mushrooms, leeks, and carrot peels all work well)
Add herbs and spices (rosemary, thyme, basil, onion powder, and/or oregano)
Add garlic + salt
Bring to a boil and then simmer for about an hour (or all day in a slow cooker).
Strain scraps through a colander or cheesecloth and discard. Add additional salt if you feel it needs it.
Use the broth immediately or store in the fridge or freezer. (Freeze what won’t be used within a week.)
