Broth is a great way to utilize scraps of ingredients that you may just throw away.
Using bones or vegetable scraps in broth can save money and add great flavor. If you use too tiny pieces of vegetable scraps through, it can dissolve and make the broth cloudier so avoid tiny pieces.
When using dried ingredients to make broth, you can soak them for 30 minutes – overnight in the water that you plan to use for the broth. This helps the water to absorb more flavor from the ingredients before they are simmered.
