Veg stock

Many recipes require vegetable or chicken stock as a foundational step for soups, gravies, or pasta dishes. While it does take time for the stock to simmer down, allowing the flavors of the vegetables to infuse into the water, the process is quite simple. Additionally, you can incorporate leftover vegetables found in the back of your fridge, making it a sustainable option.
