Simple Vegetable Soup Stock

Submitted By: Rhonda Malkmus

Most store-bought soup stock products are high in table salt, contain tap water, and are expensive. Here is a distilled water, low sodium, inexpensive soup stock to use as a base for numerous soup recipes that contain soup stock as an ingredient.

Ingredients

  • 2 quarts distilled water
  • 2 carrots (cut into 1” pieces)
  • 2 large white or yellow onions with skins (quartered)
  • 2 celery ribs (cut into 1” pieces)
  • ½ cup parsley leaves (stems removed)
  • 2 bay leaves
  • ½ tsp dried thyme leaves
  • ½ tsp dried marjoram leaves
  • ¼ tsp dried rosemary leaves
  • Pinch of cayenne
  • 1 tsp unrefined (Celtic) sea salt or Himalayan salt (or to taste)

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients in a stock pot with water and bring to a boil.
  2. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes (skimming off foam periodically).
  3. Remove from heat, remove vegetables from soup stock and discard.
  4. Strain stock to remove any remaining vegetable and herb bits.
