I use it all the time as a base for soups, stews, and risotto. Rather than relying on the high-sodium store-bought versions, why not make your own vegetable stock at home?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vegetable stock is very forgiving and very adaptable. This is less of a recipe and more of a starting point. You don&#8217;t need to buy vegetables, especially for the purpose of making vegetable stock. You could save up all the scraps of vegetables you are using day to day, pop them in a bag in the freezer, and make some stock when you have enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have made vegetable stock at home and realize how easy it is, you will never buy the store-bought version again. It&#8217;s something you can rustle up so easily and keep on hand all the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your vegetable scraps in the freezer ready to make a stock as soon as you have enough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Homemade-Vegetable-Stock-3-1200x1800.jpg\" alt=\"close-up image showcasing a glass canister filled with flavorful homemade vegetable stock\n\" class=\"wp-image-2892\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Homemade-Vegetable-Stock-3-1200x1800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Homemade-Vegetable-Stock-3-164x246.jpg 164w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Homemade-Vegetable-Stock-3-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Homemade-Vegetable-Stock-3-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Homemade-Vegetable-Stock-3.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why You\u2019ll Love This Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Easy to Prepare.<\/strong>&nbsp;Vegetables only need to be roughly chopped, with no peeling necessary, and thrown into a pot with some water and seasoning. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Budget-Friendly. <\/strong>Stop buying cartons of vegetable stock when you can make your own for pennies. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Environmentally-Friendly. <\/strong>Instead of becoming waste, vegetable scraps can be used to make vegetable stock. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Make Homemade Vegetable Stock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Homemade stock is easy and cheap to make.

For stock less concentrated add more water. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add flavors you love. <\/strong>For example, mushrooms, tomatoes, parsnips, and peppers (all colors) all work well in stock. They will each bring a different flavor to the stock, so stick with the flavors you enjoy. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fresh and dried herbs.<\/strong> Both work great in stock and add flavor. Use what you have on hand. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage Recommendations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Store the strained stock in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or alternatively, freeze it in portions in ziplock bags or containers so you can conveniently pull some out to use as you need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try These Other Soup Recipes <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/vegetarian-french-onion-soup\/\">Vegetarian French Onion Soup<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 The classic soup with a vegetarian twist and bold flavors of red and white onions. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/hearty-lentil-potato-greens-soup\/\">Lentil, Potato, and Greens Soup<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 This hearty soup is full of comforting ingredients for a rainy day. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/spanish-garlic-soup\/\">Spanish Garlic Soup<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 A simple soup filled with garlic flavor with saffron and sweet paprika and thickened with crusty bread. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/kabocha-squash-soup\/\">Kabocha Squash Soup<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 Perfect soup for a chilly day with chunky pieces of tender squash.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/5-ingredient-pea-and-mint-soup\/\">Pea and Mint Soup<\/a>&nbsp;\u2013 This soup has only 5 ingredients but packs bold flavors.
