I use a lot of veggie broth and home made is so much lower in sodium Submitted by:

I love making my own stock....and I love homemade soup! It's so much better when it's homemade, and I can control the salt. Submitted by:

I typically just use what I have on hand, but it's nice to have a recipe with a calorie count! Submitted by:

I'm wondering what one can do with the vegetables leftover after the stock is drained - will they be too decomposed and nutritionally drained themselves to be of use in another recipe? Looking forward to trying this and mixing it up to my own tastes! Submitted by:

To PinkRoses48: Sweating is a classical technique of cooking food over low heat in a little fat, generally in a covered pan. It is most often done with vegetables, and the point is that they soften and cook in their own juices without browning. You can also sweat vegetables in the oven. Submitted by:

Hurray! No added salt! Finally, a healthy broth that let's all the flavors stand on their own. Excellent, good for you, and easy! Submitted by:

Good recipe! Homemade stocks/broth are perfect for lowering sodium and fat; easy to keep on hand and so useful. Use instead of oil for stir-fry or saute. Use to cook veggies, sauces, pasta, rice, etc. instead of water for a subtle flavor and more nutrition. Great base for soups/sauces of all kinds. Submitted by:

this looks very good...don't see any sodium in there...but 1.90?! A pint of mushrooms costs more than that in my area!!!! Fresh thyme is pricey too, no place to grow, no windowsills etc....can it be frozen? I will sure try this even tho it is no where near 1.90! Submitted by:

This is great, since with the colder weather I have been considering lots of soup. At the stores the prices are so high and the sodium too. This will be a great way to get into another healthy habit and lower the cost to our budget. Submitted by:

I love having homemade stock on hand. I freeze it in 3-cup containers for soups, in ice cube trays for stir fries. I ensure I add no sodium at all, as I'm on a low sodium diet, so this particular recipe is great! Submitted by:
