Homemade Vegetable Broth

It's good for your health, it's good for your wallet, it's good for the environment and it's WAY EASIER than you think! 
Stop throwing away your vegetable scraps!! Carrot peals, the middle stalks and leaves of celery, the ends of onions, mushroom stalks, herb stems, etc etc. . .

As soon as you have vegetable scraps simply place them in a large resealable, plastic bag and place in the freezer.  As you have more scraps, add them to the bag.  Once the bag is full and you are ready for broth, place the frozen vegetables in a pot on the stove.  Cover the veggies with water and bring to a boil.  Decrease temperature to simmer and cover halfway.  Simmer for about 30 minutes or so.  Strain the broth and voila! You made your own broth. 

Of course it will taste slightly different each time.  You can add spices, salt and pepper to your taste.
