After a long absence I think it's time we started posting to this blog again... :)
As it has been a cold & snowy winter I've been making soups...
What kind you ask? well, I've made my chili recipe (already posted earlier in this blog), veggie soups with homemade veggie stock, loaded potato soup, a kale soup, & etc. ...
for today's recipe:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Homemade Veggie Stock
Ingredients:
4 or 5 stalks Celery, cut in thirds
3 or 4 Carrots, cut in thirds
1 large Onion, quartered
2 or 3 cloves garlic, smashed
quarter bunch of parsley (about 10-15 stems)
6 or 7 quarts of water
kosher salt, about 2-4 teaspoons (I usually just sprinkle across the top of everything in the pot)
peppercorns, to taste (about 7-10 peppercorns)
Directions:
place ingredients in an 8 quart stock pot.
bring to a boil, lower the heat an simmer for 1 & a half to 2 hours.
let cool, & then strain.
variations:
you can also add other veggies like parsnips, celery root, fennel, & etc... or other herbs like thyme, sweet marjoram, sage, & etc... for different flavored broths.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I use the above recipe as a base for most soups; as I like to try & make "healthy" soups.
stay tuned for more wonderful recipes... :)
