The next time you use canned broth in a recipe that really requires homemade (like Tortellini in Brodo), take a few extra minutes to jazz up the canned stuff with some fresh ingredients. You could do this with beef broth too.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 (14-ounce) cans ready to serve chicken or beef broth
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 stalks celery, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped celery leaves
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 whole cloves garlic
- 1 carrot, chopped
- Any chicken or beef trimmings
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, then strain the broth, discarding solids. Refrigerate the stock for up to 3 days, or freeze in ice-cube trays for longer storage.
