    Vegetable Broth

    All home cooks should have a go-to vegetable broth recipe in their arsenal. This version will make any broth-based soup swoon-worthy. Also use it instead of ho-hum water when cooking grains such as quinoa or rice, for deglazing pans, and sautéing greens. Going the extra mile and sautéing the vegetables first adds an extra layer of flavour.
