Ingredients

  • 1/2 onion quartered
  • 4-5 large carrots
  • 6 celery stalks halved
  • 7 springs fresh dill (or 4 tsp dried)
  • 10 springs fresh parsley (or 3 tbs dried)
  • 3-4 cloves fresh garlic smashed
  • 10-12 cups water
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add onions, carrots, celery, and garlic to a pot to saute for 5-8 mins.
  • Add water and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to low. Allow for the broth to simmer for 45 minutes to an hour, covered.
  • Taste and add more herbs or pepper to preference.
  • Prepare a big bowl and a strainer inside the bowl. Better to be in the sink–easier to clean potential spills! Pour broth mixture into the strainer, and press down on the vegetables to remove all the liquid.
  • Use immediately or portion into freezer-safe containers for future use.
