TALKING ABOUT BROTHS

Did you know that broths used to be a dietary staple, as were fermented
foods, and now the elimination of these foods from our modern diet is
largely to blame for our increasingly poor health?
Chicken broth and the vegetables one are very healing,
they are nutritious and an excellent source of minerals.
I personally prefer the vegetable broth and I want to share my recipe
with you.
You can put it in a glass jar and store it in the fridge for few days
or you can freeze it.
You can just drink it nice and warm or you can cook some tortellini
or small pasta in it.

VEGETABLE BROTH


Ingredients:
2 carrots, peeled and cut in halves
1 sweet potato or half butternut, peeled and diced
1 potato, unpeeled and cut in half
1 onion, coarseley chopped
1 cm piece of ginger, peeled
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 tsp origanum
1 piece of kombu
1 or 2 celery stalks
2 TBS chopped parsley
1 TBS miso paste
salt to taste
4 lt of filtered water....
and other veggies of your choice if you have them in the fridge

In a big pot put all the ingredients except the miso paste and bring water
to boil.
Simmer for at least 1 hour.
Add the miso paste and adjust salt.
You can then strain the broth and serve it as tea or you can use it for dinner,
cooking in it tortellini (filled pasta).
