    Vegetable stock recipe (Homemade vegetarian)

    Updated on June 16, 2022 by Raks Anand 24 Comments / Jump to Recipe

    Vegetable stock is not only healthy to use in your soups, but also adds flavour to your soups. I am not a soup person, that is lazy to prepare soup at home.

    homemade vegetable stock

    Even at restaurants, I junk eat the other starters rather than a soup. There are sometimes when I feel like having, then only I like to have soup.

    I love rich and creamy soups as well as clear soups. Recently I am loving tomato basil bisque from subway.

    Wanted to try vegetable stock in some soup and see the taste difference and searched for vegetable stock at stores and sadly all the top brands aren't vegetarian🤫.

    So I had to try myself at home. And this stock recipe is one I adapted from an Italian cook book.

    It may not be an Indian style stock recipe, but sure is healthy and  tasty. And I really don't know if there is Indian style stock recipe.

    You can store this stock in a container in fridge for 3 days or even freeze and use as when needed! Next post is a soup recipe obviously!

      I am not sure what difference that could make taste wise, still, sounds like a good idea.
