No waste food- Stock bag soup!

Hi!

This is something I use all the time and it’s great for a backup when you don’t have the ability to get groceries.

It’s super easy: just get a storage sized ziplock, fill it with scraps as you collect them, and keep it in your freezer until it’s full and you’re ready to use it.

You can use really any vegetable scraps, but I would shy away from using TOO many skins. Some are okay, but your stock bag being mainly skins can make it bitter.

Once your bag is full, give the vegetables a thorough wash and put them in a soup pot with enough water to cover them completely. Add herbs and pepper as desired! (I like to keep salt out until I’m making my actual soup, not just the broth.)

Cook your pot on a simmer for about 45 minutes. Once it’s done, strain out your vegetables, letting the broth drain into a container.

Once you’ve done this you can use immediately or freeze for later use!
