Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Zucchini
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 4 whole Celery stalks
- 1 cup Green beans
- 6 whole Radishes
- 4 whole Garlic cloves
- 1 small bunch Fresh parsley
- 4 sprigs Fresh thyme
- 2 whole Bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 10 cups Water
Directions
Step 1
Wash and chop all vegetables into large chunks, including zucchini, cauliflower, celery, green beans, and radishes. The vegetables do not need to be perfectly cut since they will be strained later.
Step 2
In a large stockpot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Step 3
Add the garlic cloves and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
Step 4
Add all the prepared vegetables to the pot and stir to combine. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until they are slightly softened and begin to release their aroma.
Step 5
Pour in the water, making sure the vegetables are completely submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, and add the fresh parsley, thyme sprigs, bay leaves, black peppercorns, and sea salt. Stir gently.
Step 7
Simmer the broth uncovered on low heat for 45-60 minutes, occasionally skimming any foam from the top.
Step 8
After the simmering time, remove the pot from heat and let the broth cool slightly.
Step 9
Strain the broth through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl or another pot, discarding the solids.
Step 10
Taste the broth and adjust the salt if necessary.
Step 11
Store the broth in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat as needed and enjoy!
