Making Vegetable Stock out of Kitchen Scraps

Ok so I really do not like throwing anything away. I am always coming up with ways to re-use and or re-purpose anything. I came up with a way to reuse the tops and bottoms, skins, inners of your veggies that you would normally through in the garbage, well hopefully into your worm bin . Check it out

1. Take a Gallon freezer bag, start placing all the left-over vegetable parts in this bag. This includes tops, bottoms, onion skins! everything. Put it in the freezer. Once the bag is full you are ready to make this yummy Vegetable stock

2. Take your bag of frozen vegetables out of the freezer and put on a baking sheet. Place in the oven @ 450 degrees for 30-35 minutes. This will roast the veggies and will intensify the taste of the veggies.




3. After your veggies are roasted, fill a stew pot with water. Bring to a
boil.
Add roasted vegetables, 5 Tablespoons olive oil, 2 Tablespoons pepper, 2 Tablespoons salt, 2 sprigs rosemary, 2 sprigs sage, 3 sprigs thyme. Cook everything for 30 minutes at a rolling boil.
4. Once cool, drain the vegetable stock into freezer bags or containers. Freeze. Use within 4-6 months.

This is great as a soup starter!!! Enjoy
