Vegetable Broth

Vegetable broth is a stock prepared by simmering vegetables, most commonly carrots, celery, parsley root, onion and other root vegetables, in water with herbs and spices. The result is a light, aromatic liquid that serves as the base for soups, sauces, risottos, stews and many other recipes. Compared to meat-based stocks, it is lighter and suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets. It can be made at home by slowly simmering vegetables, or used in its instant form as cubes, powder or concentrates. It naturally enhances the flavour of dishes and adds depth without the need for meat. It is a versatile ingredient suited to everyday cooking.
