Veg Broth

[sss3]

I did a search for this.  There were 11 pages.  What's a basic recipe for veg broth?  Something like carrots celery, onions.  What else would you add?

Serious Eats Vegetable Broth

Ingredients

1 ounce dried mixed mushrooms such as oyster, porcini, or morel
1 medium yellow onion, split in half
1 large carrot, roughly chopped
3 stalks celery, roughly chopped
2 to 3 leeks, greens only (reserve whites for another use)
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 (4-inch) piece kombu (dangerously high in iodine-exceeding the upper limits for iodine)
3 bay leaves
6 sprigs thyme
6 sprigs parsley
1 tabespoon whole black peppercorns
1 teaspoon fennel seed
1 teaspoon coriander seed
(this recipe is cooked and then strained, so the whole spices are removed when the flavor is imparted, with ground dried spices, I would use less in proportion to the vegetables)

Serious Eats Quick and Easy Broth
Ingredients

4 medium carrots, peeled and roughly diced
4 stalks celery, roughly diced
2 large onions, roughly diced
4 medium cloves garlic, smashed
Sprigs of fresh parsley, thyme, and/or a dried bay leaf

You can make it as involved or simple as you like. These were the best recipes I found when I was looking for how to make vegetable bouillon/stock/broth powder.

I add our home made Mrs. Dash. I like bell peppers in it but will add any vegetables I have around. Cabbage, turnips, parsnips, anything....James

@jwal10, I gotta get going on some fake Mrs. Dash, we still haven't tried that.

sss3, this is a good recipe for 'magic mineral broth' I like magic.

Except don't use the kombu because of too much iodine: nutritionfacts.org/video/too-much-iodine-can-be-as-bad-as-too-little/

Here's the ingredients:
6 unpeeled carrots, cut into thirds
2 unpeeled yellow onions, cut into chunks
1 leek, white and green parts, cut into thirds
1 bunch celery, including the heart, cut into thirds
4 unpeeled red potatoes, quartered
2 unpeeled Japanese or regular sweet potatoes, quartered
1 unpeeled garnet yam, quartered
5 unpeeled cloves garlic, halved
1/2 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 (8-inch) strip of kombu*
12 black peppercorns
4 whole allspice or juniper berries
2 bay leaves
8 quarts cold, filtered water
1 teaspoon sea salt



Do you have some veg broth cooking on the stove? How did it turn out?
