This vegetable stock recipe is easy to make and wastes nothing. You get all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients. No need to strain out the veggies. Once they are cooked, just toss them all in the blender. You can make big batches and freeze them and be able to make soup in just a few minutes! Try our broccoli soup!
