Every good cook needs a great stock. My homemade vegetable stock is infused with layers of healthy flavor from veggies, herbs and spices, and can take any dish from ordinary to spectacular.

A golden, delicious vegetable stock infused with layers of flavor from herbs, spices, vegetables and even fruits can be a great tool in a cook's arsenal.

Whether it's a vegan risotto you are making or a vegan beef stew, a good stock, like this mushroom stock or the vegetable stock I am sharing here, can make all the difference, adding depth of flavor and umami and that critical je ne sais quoi to any recipe.
This vegetable stock is a frugal recipe: it is made entirely with vegetable scraps or portions of veggies that you might just throw out. I save these scraps in a large freezer bag and pull them out when I need to make a stock. Add a few herbs and spices and voila, you have an amazing vegetable stock to make your stews and soups taste wow!

This is my everyday stock, the stock I'd have in my fridge at any given time. I also make a roasted vegetable stock with caramelized veggies that I will share with you another day. Meanwhile, save those vegetable scraps for a couple of weeks and then, get cooking!
