Make your own vegetable broth in a little over an hour using fresh ingredients, no meat and can be used as a soup base or added to many other recipes.

Begin by adding 2.5 litres or 10 cups of water to a large pot.
To the water add:
2 large carrots, peeled and chopped
2 large celery stalks, chopped
One large onion, chopped ( add the onion skin too as it will give your broth that beautiful golden colour)
One leek, chopped. I cut the leek in half, separate it and wash very carefully as leeks tend to have sand in them
2 dried Bay leaves, whole
8 to 10 whole peppercorns ( just use regular pepper if you don’t have whole ones)
1 1/2 tsp salt... or to taste

Bring all to a boil and simmer. The water will begin to evaporate and the flavours will intensify. Taste after an hour and add salt as needed.  The longer it boils, the more flavour it will have.
After an hour and a bit, strain the broth. You can save the carrots and use them in a soup or make carrot puree for your little ones.
This recipe should make approximately 6 1/2 cups of delicious vegetable broth that you can use for minestrone soups, risotto, rice balls just to name a few.
Healthy, beautiful  colour and delicious!!
