Ingredients

• 3 medium carrots
• 3 stalks celery stalks
• 1 large yellow onion
• 4 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 large zucchini
• 1 small bunch fresh parsley
• 6 sprigs fresh thyme
• 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 12 cups water

Directions

Step 1

Wash and roughly chop the carrots, celery, zucchini, and onion. You do not need to peel the vegetables, as the peels will add more flavor to the broth.

Step 2

Smash the garlic cloves using the flat side of a knife to release their oils.

Step 3

In a large stockpot, add the chopped vegetables, garlic, parsley, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, peppercorns, and salt.

Step 4

Pour in 12 cups of water and bring the pot to a boil over high heat.

Step 5

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the broth simmer uncovered for 1 hour. Stir occasionally to ensure all flavors meld together.

Step 6

After 1 hour, taste the broth and adjust the salt if needed.

Step 7

Strain the broth using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a large bowl, discarding the solids.

Step 8

Let the broth cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
