Vegetarian Soup Stock
Due to the absence of a strong meat base, many vegetarians worry that they won't be able to pack enough flavor into their vegetarian soup. The truth is, however, that it is easy to make flavorful meatless soups that everyone can enjoy. Some great tricks are to use seasoning packets or salad dressing mixes but there are some really great vegetarian soup mixes that you can pick up at your local grocery store. If you want to make your own soup base to add more depth and flavor, this is a wonderful basic stock that you can use instead of water in almost any vegetable soup to really give in a bold taste:
- 7 cups of water 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 large carrot, diced
- 2 large celery stalks, diced
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
- 1 cup of coarsely shredded cabbage
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 teaspoons Italian herb mix
Put all of the ingredients into a big soup pot and bring to a simmer. Then, simmer the concoction gently, covered, over low heat for about 45 minutes, or until the vegetables tender enough. Finally, strain the stock through 3 or 4 layers of cheesecloth.
