Making Homemade Stock

I’m blushing when I tell you an old boyfriend showed me how to make my first homemade stock.

Most fabulous cacciatore!

I thought he was crazy saving all the vegetable scraps in a stock pot and covering them with water. 

It was time to take a closer look at my cooking.

Save your scraps to make homemade stock.


I feel good when I get the fullest value out of my food. 

That’s why I save every vegetable skin, peel, end, and trimming in a storage container in my freezer. 

Even bones.


How To

  • Fill your stock pan with the peels, trimmings, etc.

  • Add a glug of vinegar if using leftover meat bonesTo release minerals to your stock

  • Cover with water

  • simmer for at least 30 minutes

  • Cool Slightly and strain

  • Use immediately or freeze


Every soup starts with Stock!

Making and using homemade stock is easy, economical, and nutritious!
