Broth Ideas

JennBrown83

Okay, so having been completely shocked by how much sodium is still in reduced sodium broths I am thinking of having a "broth day" this weekend. I want to take a few pots and make some jars of vegetable, chicken and beef broths. I know you usually put onions, carrots and celery in with the meats but I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for other veggies I can put in the vegetable broth and maybe in the meat broths to add a bit more flavour.... thanks for any and all suggestions!!!!

You could buy a soup bone at the butcher.

I just made vegetable broth tonight! Just finished it up. I added the usual--carrots, celery, onions, and a bay leaf. I've read of people using fruit like an apple, or sweet potatoes. I haven't tried that but would like to for in the future.
