Back to Basics | Nourishing Vegetable Broth Canning Recipe

[@dumbbunnie123]

I think you're going to freeze dry and powder the scraps to make soup mix or veggie dip. I look forward to seeing what you're up to!

[@cathrinagroiss604]

My guess exactly

[@nicoleswanke7639]

This is my thought too!

[@dibutler9151]

Me, too, lol.

[@jessiehougas815]

That is my guess too

[@leahness3588]

That's what I thought too. But would here be much flavor after the boiling process?? We will find out.👍

[@madesimplyathome953]

I bet those scraps will fit perfectly on the four trays of you freeze dryer ;)!

[@Imjetta7]

That as my thought too!

[@beekind5331]

That’s what I would do! Freeze dry it and powder it! I did that with all my tomato skins and other veggie scraps and added them back to my next batch of pasta sauce as a thickener. It worked perfectly! It was much more effective than tomato paste.

[@norahalmquist9907]

That's what I'm thinking to a veggie powder

[@patnewson6908]

Wouldn’t that be freeze drying twice - and after making broth? Will there really be any taste left?

[@sarahmiranda7130]

I love that this is a vegetarian option. Thank you

[@cbass2755]

I am *self preserving *. That's a good word to describe me. I'm not a homesteader, but I'm reverting back to the way my Mom did in the 50's when I was growing up. She did all this stuff.

[@alicedamsteegt8955]

Freeze drying then grinding up to make a vegetable powder for extra nutrition in many meals to come!

[@analemus3815]

Yesterday I canned 7 quarts of pinto beans and today I canned 7 quarts of chicken soup. So excited to to come up with new ideas. Thank you Rachel for all you help. Inspiring all of us ♥️

[@Greens5511]

Oh woman! What do u not think of!! I just love everything you do in that adorable kitchen u have!!!

[@cindy8939]

Sweatshirt made me smile. Tell your daughter ty for her service, I retired a few years ago after 24yrs.

[@laurielyon1892]

I just canned up 7 quarts of chicken broth today. I got my veggie scraps and chicken bones going on Friday night and let them cook until Sunday morning. Your broth looks so good! I would say next project will be putting them into the freeze dryer...and maybe turning them into a powder?

[@amyparker1762]

Must be a good weekend to can. I also canned pinto, black, navy, garbanzo and red beans and made one last batch of turkey broth this weekend and canned it. Felt so good to get that stock back in my pantry! 😊

[@carolmalko615]

I just love how you turned those scraps into a beautiful broth! Who'd a thunk it?!! Now I can't wait to see what you're gonna do with that tray full of "waste", lol!

[@paulasansom6088]

Eager to see what you'll do with the cooked scraps. Don't take this the wrong way, but I was delighted to see someone else can make a messes like I do. Keepin' it real.

[@laurietopp9953]

Scraps go to the chickens and pigs

[@Greens5511]

Just a tiny idea u may like....for this type of job I use my 2 cup glass measuring cup and with one dip u can see u have 2 cups ...pour it in and it makes it an easy, quick, less mess job of filling jars 😊🤞 Hope that helps 🤗

[@kirstmlarson1]

I got a roaster exactly like that one at my local Goodwill. I was so excited! It was $5! I always had to borrow the roaster from the church kitchen for tomatoes and applesauce.

[@wendeviohl2307]

Oh my goodness! I did the same thing with my chicken broth last week...spilled a bunch all over the counter, down the cabinets, on the floor. What a hot mess! It's encouraging to know that I'm not the only one this happens to. LOL🤣.

[@jomurphey]

Canning season is never over, but it slows a bit. Thank goodness!

[@tiffanyguynn8852]

I also love when other family members help with everything!!

[@christineayre796]

Lol, I am so happy you didn't edit that out.. I would have done the same thing!! Just keeping it real. That is why I love watching you. Transparency goes a long way.

[@martinwheeler5088]

I always work with a towel under my jars just because of something this! It is a much easier way to clean up. Just remove the towel and the counter is clean. Things rarely get as far as the floor. When working with hot liquids, it protects you from hot splashes. Stay safe. Shalom.

[@rebeccawhite3210]

Thank you so much for "keeping it real"! Most people would edit out their Oops! I appreciate it so much!

[@winningrabbit9843]

Okay, I’m super excited to try this. I watched this video about a month ago and began saving scraps with the plan to make it. I pulled all of my veggies out today, have the toaster ready and watching it again to create it. Thank you Rachel!

[@bozomahoney]

How did it work out? I just found the video today.

[@published1789]

I love the basics. I get so much good out of "just broth" and my confidence goes up every single time I can it -- so straightforward.

[@carolrobb6400]

I watch another homesteader make broth & they gave all the cooked left-over veggies to their chickens. Great video!

[@tinaabert5237]

I love that you kept your “oops” in the video. You and Todd are so real in your videos. The two of you have inspired my man an me to get going on so many thing. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Ps have a good trip. Stay safe and healthy.

[@rebeccakaczmarek5598]

Rachel I've been making vegetable broth from scraps for years but I've always frozen it in 2 cup measures perfect for making rice. I've been wanting to start canning it instead of freezing. Thanks for the encouragement I used to use the leftover pulp in green smoothies.

[@WindyRidge3348]

Ha ha! I was watching you ladle broth into that jar and thought, "She's going to overflow that jar..." That's real life there. 😂Good times in the kitchen!

[@judyjohnson1012]

What an awesome guy! To help with canning and freeze drying. You’re a keeper.

[@emptynestgardens9057]

BRILLIANT!! WHY have I never done this!?! 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Probably because I've never had a veg garden before that makes you appreciate and not take for granted every single bit of it!! Thank you thank you thank you.

[@meinschatz26]

Oh dear. She did a Rachel lol I agree-as Todd is the ‘freeze dryer man’ and Rachel is going away I think he will make vegie powder in the freeze dryer. Looking forward to see the results. The vegie broth looked amazing

[@cherylbartelt9716]

Glad to know I'm not the only one that does that. Lol Making a mess when I talk. But for me it's most of the time when I talk. You're not nearly as clumsy.

[@GoodTimesHomestead]

“Pints on the bottoms and quarts on the top.” My veggie broth is a different color every time. 🥰🥰🥰

[@michelleprater662]

I am canning chili beans using your recipe!

[@carolfloyd6550]

I have never canned vegetable stoc. I always put all of my my vegetable scraps into my meat broths. I am definitely going to make some vegetable stock. Thank you for the recipe.

[@mariagarcia-po6kl]

Hi Rachel. Now you know I wish I could can vegie broth. But I live in an apartment, and all I can do put the broth in the freezer. I love the straps you put for broth. God Bless and have a safe trip. Todd will be fine with us watching. Stay safe and healthy Rachel. Maria. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💝💝💝💝💝💝❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇

[@dreamscience5794]

You are just brilliant Racheal. I have a small garden but often have more food than we can use before it goes off. I am now going to try and buy some canning jars, lids and rings. I live in Liverpool England - Please keep going, life is a constant struggle these days so, anything that helps the family to be self-sufficient is essential - very best wishes.

[@judihughey4912]

U know it's good when the dogs like it too

[@brendasmiley6128]

I love that you didn't edit out overfilling the jar. I totally relate to that.😂 Beautiful broth. Thanks for sharing.☮👩‍🌾🥫

[@marthadirkes3211]

Now you know why we really keep dogs. It's good to know that I'm not the only one who does that. I did it last week.

[@patticoach4858]

It's just me and I make chicken, turkey and ham broth and what scraps I get I use for them. This summer I will be able to make some vegetable broth when I get a canner. I freeze mine in 2 cups in freezer bags. Homemade is the way to go. 😋😋

[@KCSmith1]

Thanks for showing how valuable scraps are! Also, I love it when you make a boo boo and over fill a jar cause you visiting! I dont feel so alone! 😁🥰😁

[@cindymcclintock1914]

I never made vegetable stock in my opinion the ones I've used from the store were tasteless so I'm so glad and grateful that I've watched this video I'm going to try it and I'm hoping I will love it

[@carolslaton]

LOVE HOW YOU CAN MAKE BROTH OUT OF VEGGIES

[@joeyhardin1288]

Just purchased a roaster. Looking forward to more broth canning. God Bless and stay safe.

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

The onion skins give it that gorgeous color...they can be used to dye cloth yellow! I just ordered my first pressure canner and SO look forward to doing this and canning dry beans using your no-soak method!

[@kingdomcitizen5222]

I'd love to get my veggie broth out of the freezer and into jars. I think my I have several gallon bags of scraps...I think I'll can the next batch! thanks so much!

[@tiffanyguynn8852]

So after this, I'm keeping ends of veggies to make broth, and onion stuff. Looks great.

[@oldtimerlee8820]

Scraps: Freeze dry and then powder to add to soups and much more. Now you have me hankering to make some vegetable broth to use to make "instant" rice. I've made it using chicken broth. However that doesn't have a long shelf life. Suspect adding using vegetable broth will give cooked white rice a big boost of flavor and when dehydrated will give "instant" rice a much longer shelf life. Thanks for sharing and inspiring.

[@suejohnson3237]

MAYBE Freezedry and grind to powder for vegetable boullion!! That'll work for me??😎💓💞😎

[@vineyardchickshomestead]

That is a really great looking broth! This is a great reminder that we need to start making some freezer space and broth is a great way to do that. We never thought about using scraps for broth! Anything that doesn't get preserved goes straight to the chickens or goats but this really gives us something to think about. Thanks so much!

[@1Letter23Numbers.]

Hi! I keep the stems from cilantro in the freezer so when I make soup I can blend them up with tomatoes and add towards the end of cooking for an extra punch of flavor. I imagine the same would work with parsley. I keep other veggie scraps in the freezer to make chicken broth with the carcasses of rotisserie chickens. I'm not fortunate to have goats and chickens yet, but I'm working on it.

[@grammiejan828]

Saving all my veggie scraps to make broth. Since I live alone, I've asked my great neighbors to save their scraps for me. They think I'm nuts but will be redeemed when they get some veggie broth to use.

[@vineyardchickshomestead]

@@1Letter23Numbers. That is such an awesome idea! Scraps that can be used really aren't scraps. Good luck with getting goats. Goats are a ton of fun! Blessings.

[@BrazenSpirituality]

😋Thanks for sharing!

[@ladyprepper4]

I would bet the plan is to dehydrate or freeze dry the scraps to make veggie powder. My chickens would love those pea pods!

[@DebbiesHomeplace]

I'm thinking Todd is going to do something freeze dried. A veggie kind for tons of things. Great video Rachel! The color looks awesome. Very nice addition to your storage pantry. Have fun with your precious Grand Baby...

[@maryd6506]

I wish I had the freezer space to freeze my veggie scraps for veggie broth later on. So yummy.

[@lisapop5219]

I have a really old, 2nd hand roaster too. I bought it 10 years ago when we moved here and we with 2 teenagers!) ended up staying in a motel room for a month waiting for house closing & our belongings to come in from overseas. It is great! I used it for a slow cooker mostly. Mine doesn't have the flowers on the front. It works as well or better than any slow cooker I've used. Not bad for $10

[@centraltexashomestead-mike4956]

We always have freezer bags full of mirepoix, celery onion, carrot, we add peppers, garlic. Nothing better than a good veg broth. Such a good teaching video!

[@pri.sci.lla.]

I learned about saving my veggie scraps about a year ago and have been doing it ever since, it’s amazing! Can only store a small amount as a college student but it makes the most delicious veggie broth 😍

[@diannecortez9678]

That broth is so pretty. That's amazing that it was made with the scraps. I will start saving mine also.

[@JacquieG]

That veggie broth looks so good

[@debbiegallagher314]

I love making broth too. I’m so glad you show over filling the jar!! I have done that while yacking on the phone. Love your channel 🥰

[@nancyschmied2440]

I have been canning for 8 years and have never made veggie broth. I love the idea of using scraps for this. I normally just feed them to the chickens but, there's just too much in the summer. Thanks for sharing

[@andieroanhorse3797]

Awesome. Can't wait to see what your going to do with scraps. 👍🏽

[@tammy2813]

This is something I have never done - vegetable broth. I have done onion broth but not with bean pods. What a wonderful idea! Can't wait to try this. I am like you, getting started on another canning project is hard when last summer was such an awesome year for gardening/harvesting. I was processing peppers just before Thanksgiving. Usually my season is over mid October. Now here is the end of January and time for some seeds to be started. Wow what a fast winter break! Mentally getting ready for another big year! Thanks for sharing your adventure with the community!! You are so sweet!

[@OnaMuir]

Started the freezer clean out last week. Same idea! Thank you.

[@dorriwaldera3081]

I found a ton of onions that needed to be taken care of. After, made onion broth with the peels. It tastes amazing!

[@cr3062]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that makes a mess in the kitchen!!! 😉

[@donnazack]

I have the same roaster. I also have the inserts with the three pans. Love it.

[@ginco5203]

That looks delish! Almost like honey in the jars.

[@atticfanatic5193]

Oooh! I never thought of using the pea pods!! I'm planning on doing shelling peas this year so now I know to keep the shelled pods.

[@dixiemosura7719]

They look delicious! I could drink straight out of the jar

[@mellyg8872]

Wow that broth looks beautiful! Thanks for sharing Rachel

[@jackiehorsley9263]

those are some nice scraps they well definitely make a awesome ingredient to ground up and and add to vegetable soup

[@mp-hc7uh]

I find myself making things and saving the scraps for the chickens. They are spoiled and have come to expect leftovers and kitchen scraps. Recently I took some old cornmeal and mixed it with hot milk. It made a welcome treat on a very cold morning. I may have to make some vegie stock now, the girls would love the leftover vegies. Thanks for the idea.

[@rubycrisp761]

I use Nothing But Bagel very often...(my fave is sliced bell pepper with cream cheese and topped with Nothing but Bagel)....so I will be looking for that vlog!!! Please and THANK YOU!!!

[@virgo8223]

I always save my scraps, but most of the time they go in the compost, would love to make some vegie broth, have chicken and turkey broth canned up in the pantry.

[@susanthornfeldt5947]

With the cost of broth in the stores - man, it's time to try this! Great idea, Rachel!

[@sandrad682]

Great video. I don't know why I haven't thought of it before. Thanks!

[@Slnaocwe]

I used my pressure canner for the first time the other day, pumpkin! Had some siphoning and a jar broke!! Haha But it was so awesome! Going to try potatoes today, bone broth tomorrow! So exciting!

[@Michelle_Myers]

Great idea for scraps & older frozen veggies. Thank you ❤️❤️

[@missioncreekfarm7715]

It hink you got the color you did from the onion skins. I am a fiber artist and onions skins are one of my favorite natural dyes.

[@cstone6267]

I love adding turmeric to broth, looks yummy.

[@kathyfuson7408]

Love it! Me too. Am canning veg scraps or bits of golden goodness today.

[@CarlaBDial]

Loving these videos. I'm recovering from major surgery but hope to be able to do some canning soon.

[@DeborahBrown-tj7wx]

Nothing like a couple of good "barking cleaners"! Broth looks awesome! I think you're going to freeze dry the scraps and make veggie powder out of them.

[@grannaboo03]

Great video! Your Vegetable stock looks awesome! As to the scrapes….I think you are going to freeze dry it & make vegetable powder, that you can add to any recipe, & or make a vegetable dip for Super Bowl Sunday.

[@pamelastokes2964]

Beautiful broth! Thanks for sharing. Pam

[@laurietopp9953]

Thank you for your instructions. I recently canned chicken and broth and I am new to this but it was like liquid gold xoxo

[@denisedoodles]

I'm new to canning and it amazes me that you made that rich broth from scraps and a few spices! I cannot wait to see what is next!

[@annjewell8379]

I save my veggies scraps for broth also looking forward to your next t project

[@interestedobserver9352]

I agree the most likely next step is freeze drying and powdering .. if it wasn't, you should try it!

[@femalecrusader8389]

With the left over pea pods after for canning? Make into dog treats? 🐕

[@marilynmcneely206]

I have 2 of those rosters,,, I buy them at garage and estate sales,, I love them

[@GrandmaBsBusyLife]

The scraps likely have very little nutritional value or flavor left. That is why most people compost them. Their benefit is in decomposition at this point. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

[@maryarcher8484]

Why would you say that? Chiefs do this all the time. And they would have as much nourishment or more as the frozen section in the store.

[@ima40schic]

they make a delicious broth that is very full of flavor. I've been making it for years, use it in anything you would use beef or chicken stock in. I also use it to saute' veggies instead of oil.

[@m.walker7907]

Use your broth in " instant pot" instead of water

[@m.walker7907]

Are you going to dry them,for veggie powder

[@dawnesson3353]

Awesome video...looking forward to trying it myself...thank you. ...enjoy your Charleston visit

[@annieloohoo1]

Beautiful color....the flavor must be awesome too!

[@countrymousesfarmhouse497]

My guess is freeze drying the pods maybe with spices . That broth looks amazing. Yum

[@joycedemolle4565]

Beautiful broth. WOW. Can’t wait to see what you will do with the broth veggies.

[@catracampolieto8989]

I just raw pressure canned chicken yesterday. Love your videos.

[@tpaw6908]

Love this also the French onion soup. They are diffently on my to do list

[@grekahg3938]

Yum yum! Vegetable broth heaven. 🙌🏻💗🧅🧄🫑🌶🥕

[@crystalolson4497]

As always such a good video....can't wait to see what you do with those scraps

[@cathrinagroiss604]

As a vegetarian I only make vegy broths. Here are some other scraps that go into mine: mushroom 'legs', tomato peals, carrot ends or tops, old looking garlic cloves, butternut squash peal, the 'inner parts' of peppers, and tired old veggies (but I prefer not to use cabages, broccoli or potatoes), corn cob, the tops of leaks or cellery, and the stalkier parts of herb like parsley, dill, cilantro, lemongrass and thyme. And lastly, the ones to be cautious with (a little goes a long eay): Ginger or galangal scraps, sage, kefir lime leaves, allspice 'peppercorns', aniseed or fennel seeds or flowers, mustard leaves, seaweed and chile peppers. I never use all at the same time, but adjut to what I have or my plans for the broth. If i'm going for Asian flavors, i'll use the relevant aromatic scraps, if i'm going Italian or French, more of the wholly trinity of carrot-leak/onion-cellery and herbs, but not too much, for a lighter, fresher aromatic touch.

[@barb7014]

Thanks!

[@tiffanyx8577]

Yes! I came here to say no brassica!

[@freanaburks5067]

I just want to say I love your videos!!!

[@rnmom65]

Broth look amazing. Since she mentioned you were the 'freeze-dry guy', I am assuming you will freeze dry them and make a vegetable seasoning...that sounds amazing too! Can't wait to find out!!!
