So, this is a pretty simple recipe. Many manufactured soups, stock cubes, and sauces contain gluten. I know, we can't win. I started making my own stock to avoid and problems and stomach aches.
Here's how you get down:
Combine the following ingredients in a gallon of water and simmer for 45 minutes.
- 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 medium leek (white and green parts) rinsed
- 1 medium rib celery
- 1 medium carrot, peeled and chopped
- ½ medium turnip
- ½ small tomato, chopped
- 3 cloves peeled garlic
- 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- whole peppercorns
- whatever herbs you have in the kitchen i.e thyme, bay leaves, parsley
After you drain your stock, dispose of the vegetables in your compost or to your dogs. That's right, to your pups. We mash up the rubbish into our dogs food and they love it. As you can see from the picture, he's always hungry. P.S all the ingredients are safe for your dogs expect the garlic so be sure to take it out.
This sounds great. I've also made stock with veggie scraps like onion skins, carrot peels, and celery ends. But lately I just buy organic low sodium vegetable broth made by Pacific Natural Foods, whic has no gluten, MSG, or sugar like traditional packaged broths. It's like $4 per quart, so your method is certainly more economical!
